Library, Encino Park Elementary Library Mary Ann Ragland, Library Assistant Carol Potter, Librarian Welcome to the Encino Park Library in the park. Our library is decorated to look like a park scene filled with trees, flowers, park benches, windows, and more. Everyone really seems to enjoy coming to the library in the park to find just the right books or materials to meet their needs, do research, find information, or just sit, relax and read.
Every class comes as a group to check out books once a week.
In addition, students can come any time outside of scheduled time, as needed, to check out books. Students can also come anytime in small groups to work on research projects, practice plays, study groups, discussions,etc. Library skills, research and information seeking skills are taught through collaboration with the teachers through integration with the curriculum and flexible scheduling. ELP classes have used the digital cameras to develop presentations on the computer. Second grade has also used the digital cameras to develop a book about their class.
