Welcome and Bienvenido to the Elementary Center Libraries!

Upper Moreland Primary School and Upper Moreland Intermediate School

The library is the school center for reading, learning, and information.

Library Mission

Our mission is to promote a love of reading, to inspire a lifelong joy in learning, and to provide resources that enable exchange of information and ideas.

Instruction

The library media specialist collaborates on instruction with classroom teachers to contribute to high student achievement. Information literacy skills are taught as students work through classroom units of study using the Big 6 process model for solving information problems. Projects are developed in science, social studies, and language arts. Every class has a designated weekly book exchange class to choose books for recreational reading and assignments.

Library Collection

The library contains a wide range of print and electronic holdings including—pictures books, easy readers, short chapter books, graphic novels, fiction, biographies, non-fiction and magazines. Students learn and use online databases that are available in school and from home (email Librarian for user names and passwords).

Volunteers

Parents and Grandparents are encouraged to consider volunteering in the library. If you enjoy children, books, and being in schools…volunteering in the library is a rewarding way to make a tangible contribution to your child’s school.

All volunteers are asked to filled out the volunteer forms that can be found on the district website.

“Reading is a window to the world. Reading is a foundational skill for learning, personal growth, and enjoyment. The degree to which students can read and understand text in all formats and all contexts is a key indicator of success in school and in life.”
