Library classes involve a variety of skills and media. Two broad goals of the curriculum include fostering a love of books and teaching skills that encourage students to be independent library users and lifelong learners. The library media specialist gives book talks. Audiovisual materials are also used to interest students in books. Younger grades have story time, often with puppets or the flannel board.
Technology is important.
The Eisenhower Library Media Center has an automated circulation and catalog system that is very user friendly for children. Students will be taught how to use the system and locate materials. The Library Media Center is an extension of the classroom, a viable support center of teaching, and a place where children and adults experience the joys of discovery and learning. The program emphasizes the development of individual fitness, knowledge of common games and activities, and enjoyment of participation in group and individual activities. Activities vary according to grade level.
