Welcome
Welcome to Highland-Goffe's Falls
Library Media Center web page. Our
Library Media Specialist is Mr.
Lamy, and our Library Paraprofessional is Mrs. Stefanik.
The Highland-Goffe's Falls
Elementary School Library Media Center is a place where students and
teachers can read and borrow library materials, study, complete special
projects, and use
our technology for educational purposes. The mission of the
Highland-Goffe's Falls Elementary School Library Media Center is to
provide an environment where, through books and other
educational media, students will become accomplished
information-seekers, and will be introduced to a wide range of
literature through various literary genres, authors, and
popular works. As such, students are encouraged to use the Library
Media Center's resources as
a source of
information to support inquiry in a wide range of topics, and to foster an enjoyment and appreciation of
reading.
Students spend forty-five minutes
each week in the
library. A portion of the library time is devoted to
selecting
library books and for silent reading. Each library class also
has an
instructional component. In the primary grades, the library
instruction focuses on reading comprehension and
appreciation. In
the intermediate grades, the library instruction focuses on information
literacy.
Our Library Media Center is
wheelchair accessible,
and contains over 8,000 books as well as DVDs, videotapes, and
magazines. In certain
circumstances, we can obtain materials through interlibrary loan.
Our Library Media
Center also has four computers through which students and staff can access the Internet and search our
collection with our Winnebago Spectrum on-line catalog.
