Elementary School Library
In library class, students learn how to find, use, and enjoy books and other information resources. They explore different genres and authors, practice locating materials using the library catalog, and develop research and information literacy skills. Students also learn about digital citizenship, how to use technology safely and responsibly, and strengthen their reading comprehension and critical thinking through read-alouds, discussions, and projects. The goal is to build a love of reading and teach students how to become independent, thoughtful users of information.
