The Library Skills Program at the Schissler Library is designed to support classroom activity and state library curriculum standards, with an emphasis on engaged reading, research and evaluation skills, and intellectual independence. Students visit the library weekly to explore personal interests, select books for home and classroom use, and learn research skills.
