Current Practices & Artifacts
Actively diversifying library collections to be equitable to all students, staff, and community members.
Provides flexibility and variety in the library collection (multiple forms of reading materials, various genres within the fiction collection, narrative non-fiction, informational non-fiction (elementary), graphic novels, local materials, reference, digital journal and magazine articles)
Large collection of digital resources available 24/7 and 365 days a year to our teachers/students throughout the district via the Library webpage
Student/Teacher form on Library websites to recommend print and eBook purchases.
Library Media Specialists will continue to curate displays that highlight diverse topics, enhancing visibility and fostering meaningful learning experiences for all learners
Possible Areas For Growth
Work with secondary staff to increase the use of library resources/staff so that students have equitable access to the library and its resources at the point when it is needed
Although library programming is not currently tied directly to all areas of the curriculum, future initiatives can address these gaps as collaborative partnerships are fostered
2024-2025 Target Goal(s)
1) Elementary Library Media Specialist will collaborate closely with elementary teachers to continue to build the collection of books that align with Amplify CKLA units.
