In the library,
Students will learn to access, evaluate, and use information responsibly.
We maintain a well-balanced collection of books and databases subscriptions to best serve our students.
We provide assistance in locating books and information to students and faculty.
We promote curiosity.
We create a welcoming environment.
We encourage each student to develop a lifelong love of reading and learning.
The goal of the Scarsdale librarians is to encourage every student to develop a lifelong love of literature and research. A collaborative approach between the librarian, computer teacher, and the classroom teacher allows for authentic teaching of literature and information fluency and digital media skills and strategies. Students need to use the skills of inquiry to learn essential content and to construct new meaning. Instruction, designed around an inquiry framework, generates active learning and the formation of new understandings.
The information fluency skills required for independent and lifelong learning follow a coherent, developmentally appropriate continuum of instruction and practice throughout grades K-12. This enables all of our children to succeed in our ever-expanding information-rich world.
