What's the purpose of our school libraries?
School libraries have great books, just like public libraries, but school libraries also teach information, literacy skills, and library skills that are part of the curriculum in California.
What types of resources are available from LASD libraries?
Our libraries provide multiple resources for students in grades Preschool through 8 with the goal of providing every student with options for becoming strong information users and lifelong readers. We offer print books and magazines, both fiction and nonfiction, for reading for pleasure and to support school work and personal information interests. We also offer high quality electronic information resources for student research and reading development that are available both at school and home. Our goal is to offer choices to students in order to meet each student's research and reading needs.
