What your child learns in the school library...
Books can be good friends. How to choose a book to suit their interests. The difference between stories and informational text. How nonfiction is read differently than fiction. That reading can be exciting and fun! How to read an index and other alphabetical order listings. How to find a book in the library. That libraries are great places to look for answers to life's questions. How books are made by real people (authors and illustrators) and machines (publishing companies). That it is important to be choosy when picking a book or website.
