Elementary Library Media (K-5)
Lesson Plans

Strand 3

Library purpose and function

Standard 3

Contribute to a reading and learning community, including recommending reading materials to peers and respecting others' reading choices.

• Banned Books (4-5)
  This lesson promotes an understanding of why a diverse collection is required in school and public libraries. It will be acknowledged that individual reading choices are widely differentiated. Methods on making personal reading choices will be explored. Ideally this lesson would be used the fourth week of September, in conjunction with Banned Book Week
• Why Libraries??
  The idea is to give students a larger view of the importance of libraries as preservers of history and information. Also help them see the importance of being involved.
