In accordance with the national school library guidelines as set forth in Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning
(1998),the Parkdale Elementary School Library Media Program strives to
cultivate the natural curiosity of our students, while guiding them to
become effective users of ideas and information.
In order to accomplish this Mrs. Laben will:
Emphasize and encourage a love of reading
Teach skills necessary to locate, evaluate, and use resources
Provide access and exposure to materials in a variety of formats
Collaborate with other educators to provide resources and learning opportunities that support the curriculum while meeting the needs of individual students
Present resources and activities that cover a range of experiences, ideas, opinions, and perspectives
Support the concept that intellectual freedom and access to information are prerequisites to effective and responsible citizenship in a democracy.
In addition to their scheduled library time, all students
are welcome to come to the library to exchange books, work on projects, read on
their own, do research, or do homework whenever their classroom schedule
permits.
