The library curriculum focuses on the various type of literature available as it corresponds to the classroom instruction. Students at this level begin the process that will lead to independent use of library. Instruction builds on skills developed on the previous level. The Second Grade visits the library as a class in 2 groups for 30 minutes each week by reading level. Depending upon scheduling of other special areas, scheduling by reading groups is preferred whenever possible.

The Third Grade classes visit the library for 30 minutes once a week. Each class is divided in 2 groups by reading level. As scheduling of the special area permits, library classes are arranged by reading groups. The classroom teachers schedule enrichment and research time as it corresponds to their units of study in Social Studies. Third Grade students have also reached a level of independence for completing library research by the winter trimester and are sent in small groups to the library to work on independent study projects.
