Library Program
The library program, in collaboration with classroom teachers, specialists, and staff, supports academic and recreational reading, the development of research and presentation skills integrating the use of technology, and media arts/video production. Cambridge school libraries also foster connections between the school community and local and global institutions and resources for teaching and learning.
