The mission of the library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information.

The mission is accomplished by:

  • By providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats
  • By providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas
  • By working with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students
Information Power:  Guidelines for School Media Programs (1988), p. 1

The program for students in the library media center at Strode Station includes a weekly scheduled library class.  During that time, instruction in use of the library, sharing of stories, and checking out of library books is done.  Kindergarten students check out one library book at a time.  First grade starts out the year checking out only one book but are able to check out two at a time after Christmas break.  Second through fifth grade can check out two books at a time.  In addition, there are open checkout times in the morning for students to exchange their library books.

The Accelerated Reading Program is used at our school.  The classroom teacher sets the requirements for the individual students.  The library tries to provide a variety of books on a large reading range so that the students will have many from which to choose.  Not all good books will be AR, however. 

It is our hope that all students will find a lifelong love of reading and learning. 

The library sponsors two Book Fairs each year—one in the fall and one in the spring.  Parent volunteers at these events and at other times of the year are welcome.  Feel free to contact us with any concerns or ways we can help your child.
