Library+Programs

Role of the Library in the Glencliff Elementary Learning Community:

 * All students visit the library for lessons and book selection once a week
 * Students in grades 3 - 5 combine their library/computer lab time to facilitate research and collaboration
 * The Librarian meets regularly with all classroom teachers to coordinate projects and ensure curriculum alignment
 * There are more parent/family volunteers working in the library than in any other place in the building.

**Library Policies and Parent Volunteers:**


== **Glencliff Elementary Website:** One of my major responsibilities is maintaining the Glencliff Elementary Website, the Glencliff Library Website and all pages associated with these two sites. ==

RED Bags:

 * Read Every Day bags are available for students who are working on reading skills. Classroom teachers provide the library with reading level information and students come in to check out bags at their reading level. Students are encouraged to keep a bag for 1 week to practice their reading at home. The library maintains these bags, and in collaboration with the PTO, purchases new books for the bags when necessary.

Volunteer Tea:

 * At the end of each school year, I coordinate an event to honor parent volunteers throughout the school. This event usually involves a school wide gathering to sing songs and express our appreciation, a bulletin board highlighting each volunteer, a breakfast for volunteers, and the purchase and distribution of door prizes.
