Library Visits
Posted January 30
Your child will visit the Library twice weekly, and during those visits we'll present topics chosen to nurture the love of literature or to support research skills. Our goal is to sustain your child's excitement for books and reading, AND to prepare her or him to find and use information. To give you just a taste of our weekly lessons, I've prepared a list of of topics we'll cover during your child's years in Lower School.
