About the Library Program
Our Mission: The mission of the School Library Media Program at Sternberger Elementary is to help students and staff members to become lifelong readers and learners and to ensure that they can effectively locate, evaluate, and use information and ideas, regardless of format.
What We Do: The school library media center (SLMC) acts as a resource center for curriculum content and pleasure reading. With the classroom teacher, the school librarian helps teach students information skills -- how to locate, evaluate, and use information -- as well as other skills that pertain to reading and literature. To do this, the librarian works together with classroom teachers and other staff members.
In addition to providing support in the use of instructional and information technology, the school library program promotes the skill and enjoyment of reading in the development of independent, lifelong learners.
