Lower Milford Library

FACILITIES

The Lower Milford Elementary School Library serves as a resource center to our students and staff.   The collection includes more than 8,000 items: books, videos, and magazines. The library is fully automated using the Follett Library Automation system.

COLLECTION

Students are scheduled for book exchange and library skills instruction once every five school days, according to a five-day cycle. All students are encouraged to borrow up to four books each week. 

INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM

During the 30 to 45 minute instructional period, children learn how the library is organized, where to find books that are appropriate and of interest to them, and how to care for the books they borrow.  Read-alouds are chosen to coordinate with classroom themes, seasonal events, and lessons about literary genre and literature awards.

Our library also works with teachers to provide quality reading materials to support learning in Language Arts.  Some teachers use Accelerated Reader as part of their reading program.    The  AR quizzes that are available can be found at http://www.arbookfind.com/default.aspx.
