• Collaborating with teachers to integrate technology and literacy skills into the current curriculum;
• Keeping students engaged by increasing technology use in the classroom;
• Creating programs that open students up to the enjoyment of reading for pleasure;
• Selecting and providing resources for a range of reading levels and formats that help with differentiating instruction;
• Discussing Internet safety and responsibility with students who live in a seemingly limitless online environment.
• Extending library programs into the school community to create a culture where students become lifelong learners.
