What does a bear eat? Can you find a story about a mermaid? What is the Tour de France? What did people eat in the Middle Ages? These are some of the questions asked in the library of The Meadowbrook School. Using the computerized catalog to access the 15,000+ books, reference and media materials, the children learn the skills needed to find the information to answer these questions. Books related to each unit of study are circulated to the children's classrooms.

Each class of students is scheduled into the library for a half hour per week. Students in all grades hear stories that are chosen to coordinate with the units of study in their classrooms, learn to use the library resources and choose books for their assignments and their reading pleasure. Students are introduced to classic and contemporary children's literature with the goal of developing an appreciation for fine writing and illustrations and of encouraging children to become life long learners and readers.
