Mission Statement:
The mission of the Library Information Literacy Program is to enhance student achievement by ensuring that all students are competent users of ideas and information, and by encouraging a lifelong interest in reading.
The Library Information Literacy Curriculum is designed to teach students how to identify, locate, organize, and use information. In the primary grades (K-2), children learn how to find a particular book on the shelf, how to find an answer to a question by using an appropriate resource, and how to complete and present basic research. Students learn to use the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog). In third and fourth grades children learn how to develop search strategies to meet information needs. Searching skills are sharpened as they use various research books and the Internet, determining which resources will answer their needs the most efficiently and accurately. Students share the information they have gathered in a variety of technology driven formats.
