Information
Literacy Instruction
All students have
designated library times for information literacy
instruction and book circulation. Library lessons are
designed to help students become familiar with libraries
in general by instruction in the Dewey Decimal System,
online catalogs, credibility and an understanding of the
safe use of the Internet as a resource, instruction in
technology, reader’s guidance, and the development of
lifelong readers. Student programs for the 2007-2008
school year will include: two school-wide book fairs,
the birthday book club, prize books, the Sequoyah
breakfast, guest speakers, Read Across America day, and
many other events that promote a love of reading and an
appreciation for lifelong learning. Many of our library
events will be open to parents and family members as
well as students.
Parent Volunteers
If you would like to
help in our school library, there will be a sign up
sheet posted throughout the summer and at the beginning
of the 2007-08 school year. We will need volunteers to
come regularly to help with day to day operations in the
library as well as volunteers who will coordinate our
book fairs. Thank you for your participation and
support.
