It is a virtual library or a library without walls, providing leadership, service and connections to the world of information. The SLIC provides students and teachers with information on demand from a wide variety of information and learning resources from sources within and beyond the school. It also provides support to parents and community members who are contributing to the planning of school programs.

PROGRAM: The SLIC is the core of a lifelong learning community. The program is designed to support the classroom experience. Students are offered a wide range of print, non-print and computer software resources, including access to the Internet. These resources have been selected to meet all levels of difficulty and to reflect a broad range of opinion. Instruction in accessing, interpreting and organizing information is provided by a a teacher/librarian. Facilities in the SLIC provide opportunities for class instruction, group work, independent study and viewing, listening and leisure reading.

GOAL

Our untimate goal as a teaching library is to enable students to function as 
independent, lifelong learners.  The ability to access, interpret, organize 
and present information is a life skill which will contribute to success in 
future endeavors. Remember, THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO KNOW HOW TO 
ACCESS INFORMATION AND USE IT MEANINGFULLY!!!!

At any time students are invited to seek out library staff for assistance 
whenever needed.
