Library Program
The library program at Lakewood School has two major goals; to encourage students to read for pleasure; and, to teach them to become effective library users. To meet the first goal, each class has one scheduled library period per week. during that time students are introduced to various forms of literature, given the opportunity to select books of personal choice, and taught basic library skills. To meet the second goal, the librarian works in conjunction with the classroom teacher on cooperative planning and teaching related to curriculum based projects which incorporate the use of library/research skills and the curriculum.
The library is open to students during the school day. Parents are encouraged to visit the library with their children before or after school.
