School libraries are crucial for student success, fostering literacy, and promoting lifelong learning skills. An elementary school library should be a stimulating environment where students can explore their interests, improve reading comprehension, and develop essential research and critical thinking skills. School libraries encourage a love for reading by offering engaging, contemporary and age-appropriate books, fostering a positive reading experience. Librarian led read-aloud stories and independent student reading can help students build vocabulary, improve comprehension skills, and enhances overall literacy. School libraries seek to provide access to a wealth of information resources, helping students develop strong research skills and learn how to find, evaluate, and use information effectively. Libraries offer access to digital resources and technology, including our own PA POWER Library and Renaissance Learning’s myON, helping students develop essential digital literacy skills for the 21st century. The school library is not only beneficial to students but is also a valuable resource to teachers. Librarians can collaborate with teachers to curate resources that align with the curriculum and support state standards. A strong school library boosts academic achievement, enhances literacy and fosters a love for reading, expands students’ knowledge base, develops research skills, promotes critical thinking, and supports teachers and curriculum. Strong school libraries help build strong students!
