Library
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path."
Psalms 119:105
It is the purpose of the Library Curriculum to encourage the students to develop a life-long love of reading, to recognize that libraries are safe, fun places to browse, to ask questions and find answers, to recognize selected authors and discern well-written literature, to stimulate their imaginations, and to learn library skills appropriate to grade level.
The curriculum is graduated using demonstrations, visual aids, group discussions, and student worksheets appropriate for each grade level.
K4 classes come to the library for story time thirty minutes each week.
Kindergarten comes to the library for thirty minute classes each week for library skills, story time and to check-out books for the classroom.
