A Message from the P.S. 377 Librarian
The Information Literacy Standards
for Student Learning which follow have been identified by the American Library
Association and are nationally accepted as essential for student success
and achievement. Mrs. Mejias and I, as well as the entire teaching staff
at P.S. 377, are committed to every child in our school having a basic understanding
of library and research skills. We work together to provide our students
with interesting, educationally sound projects and activities which incorporate
these newly acquired strategies into everyday learning. As we continue to
grow in tandem, we expect to integrate new materials, upgraded technology
and ever-better techniques to help make our School Library Media Center the heart of
our living and breathing Community of Learners.
