library with ms. morales
The Saint Finbar School Library emphasis is placed on creating a welcoming and engaging space for the school community. The library provides materials that enhance and supplement the curriculum. Alexandria is the cross-platform library automation software used.
Students in grades Early Fives Kindergarten through Fourth grade have library classes once a week with thirty minutes of library time each. Our goals are to stimulate the recreational reading of our students, prepare them to locate, process and communicate information in both print and non-print sources; and to fully support the school’s curriculum in all subject areas.
Special events such as the highly anticipated Scholastic Book Fair build excitement about reading.
Elective periods- Jr high students are given an orientation and library research skills are refined and reinforced.
Each Library Period begins with an adult reading the students. We enjoy having guest readers!
The Library is supported by the Barbara Marasco Reading Fund (see link under Alumni & Giving).
With the passing of our beloved Ms. Dora Morales on March 2, 2019, Library was taken over by a group of dedicated parents with Library experience. This parent group is under the direction of Mrs. Cindy Velez.
