Our Objective:
“To learn literacy and research skills and explore the world together, as a community.”
To accomplish this we must-
1- Keep the library space and its users safe.
2- Provide a wide variety of quality, up to date, and age appropriate research materials.
3- Provide a diverse selection of fiction materials so that every child can find themselves, their families,
and their peers represented in ways that are both positive & realistic.
4- Provide materials that encourage more reading and more research as well as creativity, responsibility, and independence.
5- Provide opportunities for guided technological exploration and skill building.
6- Schedule time for every class to use the library resources on a regular basis.
