Literature is approached through enjoyment. Initial classes help students focus on attention skills, comprehension of plots, development of imagination, and increasing familiarity with authors and characters. Literature appreciation is fostered through regular borrowing of books and magazines to share at home. As students mature, they learn to identify various parts of both books and stories. They develop skills needed to describe characters, plots, and settings, and appreciation increases as their reading skills mature.
Information retrieval is the main thrust of library work in today's world.
In order to become proficient, students must learn a variety of methods for finding information. Such skills are learned through projects and lectures. One, year long project involves developing an outline, doing research tied to that outline, completing a research paper and turning that research into a non-fiction book with an index, glossary, table of contents, and a title page.
