Library Curriculum Highlights
In Middle School, literacy remains the central focus of the library program. We continue to provide books, digital resources, and instruction to support student interest and inquiry through reading and research. Through our collaborations across content areas, we challenge students to seek diverse perspectives, gather and use information ethically, and share their learning through the responsible use of presentation and social tools.
