Waukazoo Library

Did you know?

The Waukazoo Library-Technology Program for 2004-2005 has been cut by 20%?

The other programs reduced by 20% are Art, Music and Physical Wellness?

These programs have been cut to pilot the introduction of a foreign language.

As an Elementary Teacher-Librarian, I have a Bachelor's Degree in Education

and a Master's Degree with an endorsement to be a Librarian.

Our Library Media program aims to prepare students to become literate, life-long learners and trains them to be effective users of information. School librarians teach library skills and provide access to materials that support classroom programs and curriculum. Library resources are available to students and staff on a checkout basis. Our interlibrary loan service allows school libraries to share resources.

The Library Media program:

*Encourages students to enjoy reading and appreciate literature
*Provides access to a current, comprehensive, and enticing collection of materials
*Teaches students search strategies and techniques to access information
*Educates students to critically evaluate information

Collection Development

Waukazoo Elementary School Library system holds records of nearly 12,000 items, including books, serials, audio cassettes, video cassettes, reference sources, and software. Books and materials that are housed in the school library have undergone a rigorous selection process. I am supposed to regularly evaluate my collection to be as relevant as possible. Out-of-date materials are discarded and damaged books replaced.

The Waukazoo Collection:

Supports curriculum and enrichment instruction;
Provides quality literary choices and support student interests;
Serves a pluralistic society.

The Assistant Librarian is in charge of the clerical work in the Library and assists students to check out books.

A Library without a Teacher-Librarian becomes a book warehouse.
