UES Library Guide

The goal of the library is to foster a love of reading so that books will become part of a habit of life-long learning and pleasure. Students are instructed in the use of the school library/media center. There is a planned program of children's literature, video and computer information sources. Use of various reference materials, card catalog, Dewey Decimal System and the usual organization of a library is practiced in the form of library games and as part of classroom research.
Students in grades K-3 are scheduled for library once a week. The program includes reading, book talks, library scavenger hunts and selecting books.
The library collection houses materials for curriculum work and recreational reading. Parents are welcome to borrow books for reading with their children at home. Also, the library houses a collection of parenting and education materials that may be borrowed.
Students are responsible for the library books that they borrow. Families may be asked to replace damaged or lost materials.
