Schedule

Students visit once a week with their class for book check out and a lesson. K-1 leave their books in the classroom. 2-5 are able to take their books home. Students are encouraged to choose books that interest and excite them.

Lessons are planned and implemented using the MDE College and Career Readiness Standards for Libraries as well as the ISTE Standards for Technology. The lessons are also designed to reinforce classroom instruction.
