=Welcome to the Bacich Elementary School Library!=

About Our Library:

 * There are 706 students in grades K-4 using the library this year in 32 classes. Kindergarten and First Grade students visit the library weekly for 30 minutes. The first month of school I teach Library Skills such as procedures, book care and alphabetizing in book order.** **The second month of school our parent reader program begins. Each week, a parent reads to the class and helps the students find books while I check books out to them. It is very important to me that I get to know their names before second grade when I teach Information Literacy/Library Skills. Due to budget cuts in our district, I no longer have a library clerk to assist me. I am relying on parent volunteers to shelve and help me at the circulation desk.**


 * In Second Grade, the parent reader program ends and grades two through four are taught or read to by me. The classes are forty-five minutes and ten minutes of that time is for book check out.** **I have compiled Library Standards (Essential Standards) for my school district.** **I have taken our local county standards (****which are based on the CSLA standards) and crafted a document reflecting precise goals and activities. I was asked to establish a systematic program that both teaches skills and an appreciation of literature.**


 * My mission statement: //The mission of our library program is to ensure our students and staff are effective users of ideas and information to develop lifelong learning skills. Emphasis is placed on the appreciation and enjoyment of literature and the motivation of reading for pleasure as well as information.//**


 * "Show me a good children's library and I'll show you a good school!" Susan Warnick (Bacich Teacher Librarian)**
