We have a lot planned for your special Kindergartner!

In Kindergarten, the focus of the Media Center is to provide the students with a welcoming and structured orientation, guiding them to how libraries work and what our expectations are for good library users.  In addition to introducing library rules and procedures, we strive to expose the students to a variety of quality literature through author studies and relevant activities.  Here is a sampling of what your children will experience this year:
