Library Programs
Library begins with a lesson, followed by book checkout and an activity related to the lesson. The goal for students in grades 3-6 is for them to learn how information is organized, and how to find, evaluate, and use a variety of information sources.
All library lessons are built using the Massachusetts School Library Association’s Recommended Standards for PreK- Grade 12 Information Literacy Standards.
Library Policies
Students may have two books checked out at a time. Remember to send your student’s library books to school on library day so he or she can check out new books.
Censorship
The librarian might encourage a student to check out a book that appears to be a good fit for the student’s reading level, but the librarian will not discourage books based on content. If there are books you do not want your student to read (Goosebumps because they are scary, for example) it is up to you to discuss your concerns with your student.
Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you to all of the parents who have graciously donated their time to help out in the library! If you have not yet volunteered but would like to get involved, please email Mrs. Mulligan at emulligan@middletonps.org.
