At J.F.K., the library plays a vital role as the center of school life. A major goal of the library program is to foster a love of reading and to teach children to become lifelong learners. The study of literature develops critical thinking skills, nurtures children's reflective abilities, and enables them to connect literary themes to their own lives. The J.F.K. school library curriculum and its specialized programs help achieve this goal.
The library program focuses on teaching students library skills, different genres of literature (e.g. historical fiction, non-fiction, poetry, realistic fiction, etc.), research strategies, and integrated technology skills. Instruction in the library is closely correlated to classroom units of study and reflects the learning standards for specific content areas.
Parents and students are encouraged to visit the J.F.K. library and to participate in the varied library programs offered at our school.
