The School Library
And The Classroom
You may remember it simply as the
Library, the place you went between
classes to read, do homework, or
research for a term paper. But the school
library of yesterday has given way to a
new and exciting place. Information is
now available in a wide variety
of formats, materials and instruction are
coordinated with classroom assignments,
and students learn digital citizenship skills
in their school libraries.
Today's school library media program
teaches information literacy, a necessity
in educating children for future success.
What is Information
