“…the picture book is now enhancing math concepts, history lessons, art projects, science experiments, human relations development, and of course, the language arts program. Creative teachers have found ways to use picture books in all grade levels and in all subject areas.”

 “Learning Links to Literature”

  Integrated library classes are planned and presented in collaboration with classroom teachers. Library classes integrate learning in the classroom with library skills of locating and using information. Students are involved in activities related to all areas of the curriculum.

  Lessons are planned in conjunction with Lincoln’s Building Plan Goals of improved student achievement in reading, mathematics, and writing.

 Flexible scheduling enables classroom teachers and students access to the library resources as often as they deem necessary.

  Open access provides opportunities for browsing, checking out, working on technology projects, doing research, and completing classroom assignments.
