ABOUT THE LIBRARY...
Saint Jerome School is fortunate to have a librarian and a
fantastic group of volunteers who help the students in the library.
The children are learning about the Dewey Decimal System, the card
catalog, the parts of a book, how to find information in almanacs,
atlases and encyclopedias. They are learning that books are their
friends. They can escape from everyday schedules and visit far off
places or become a character in a story that lives a life of
adventure.
In addition
to learning how a library operates, students in grades 1, 2 and 3
are introduced stories from the Junior Great Book series. With the
help of volunteers these students are exposed to skills, which
include interpretative and evaluative questions, sharing questions
with each other and expressing their thoughts about the stories
through written and artistic works.
New books
are continuously being purchased for all grades. The library has had
the majority of its books put into the computer. We are still
working on adding new books as they are catalogued and we are also
working on having the students name and grade entered to facilitate
the lending process.
Thanks to all our parents and volunteers who have made the
project possible!
