Each elementary school contains a comprehensive library media center staffed by a full-time certified teacher librarian and equipped with a wide variety of print and non-print materials. Our libraries are learning laboratories with librarians ensuring continuous access to a wide range of learning tools and resources in school and at home. All district libraries provide open access to the information tools and content for 21st-century learning – books, eBooks, computers, laptops, handheld digital devices, online content libraries and databases, videos, educational software, online search tools, and other digital learning tools. Along with access to the digital learning tools and content, teacher librarians provide instruction and guidance on how to use tools safely, appropriately, and effectively.

Middle school library programs work within curriculum areas using flexible scheduling. Middle schools use a team approach, enabling the teacher librarians to teach in a truly integrated fashion. The teacher librarians work cooperatively with the library technology assistants to demonstrate to students how technology and the world of information strategies and libraries go hand in hand.
