Bear Valley Library

As part of the Anchorage School District’s initiative to prepare students to function optimally as global citizens and workers, the Library Department focuses on taking personal responsibility for one’s own learning. To achieve this, Library Media Specialist teach students "how to library", help develop a love of reading, engage in digital citizenship and literacy as well as research, inquiry and design skills. 

Library media education is the combination of learning experiences designed to provide students with the opportunity to acquire information, new knowledge, as well as the skills needed to think critically as a global citizen. 

Library skills aim to develop students’ literary and digital competence, knowledge, confidence and skills, especially those of collaboration, communication, and critical thinking, through a wide range of activities that nurture positive values and attitudes providing a good foundation for a well rounded lifestyle.
