Library Media Center

The East Lyme Public School’s Library Media program is designed to ensure that all students and staff are effective and ethical users of ideas and information. This mission is accomplished by:

• providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats.
• providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas, through print and multi -media technology.
• working with other education professionals to design learning strategies and create lesson plans to meet the diverse needs of all students.
• nurturing 21^st Century Skills such as critical thinking and problem solving, communication and collaboration, creativity and innovation, as well as cross disciplinary thinking and applications.

The library media program provides a foundation to support students and staff in continuing their efforts as life-long learners who have a thirst for knowledge and a love of reading as an integral part of their lives.

The goal of summer reading is to help students maintain their reading proficiency during the extended summer break from school. While incredibly important academically, summer reading should also be fun! All East Lyme students are encouraged to read anything of interest over the summer. Please help your child choose “just right” books and help them make reading a part of their daily routine. 

Have a great time reading with your child over summer break!
