Teacher Librarian Collaboration


This library will function following the tenets of Library Power, a program implemented in 1988 through a partnership between public school libraries and the DeWitt-Wallace Reader's Digest Foundation, and aided by the American Library Association. This 10-year study produces results in libraries nationwide validating libraries and librarians as important players in student learning. To allow the school community to take some ownership of the program, a semi flexible schedule has been adopted. Flexible scheduling encourages:

  • LMC visits are related to classroom activities.
  • The LMC can accommodate students of different grade levels simultaneously.
  • Students learn to locate materials through frequent practice and book checkout is not restricted to class visits only.
  • Teachers and students receive more individualized service.
  • Teachers and SLMS can plan collaboratively.
