Gonzales Community School Library

The mission of the Gonzales Community School Library is to:

  • Foster and nurture a lifelong love of READING
  • Teach and reinforce LIBRARY SKILLS
  • Introduce new TECHNOLOGY and demonstrate its use across the curriculum
  • Develop student RESEARCH skills and resource evaluation

What Happens in the GCS Library?

Students in grades K-5 visit the library weekly as a part of their "Specials" rotations. Each week they have a lesson related to Library Skills, Reading, Research or Technology, return and check-out library books, and participate in library centers. Students in grades 6-8 may visit the library as needed to check out books for reading or research assignments. In addition, Ms. McCabe teaches a daily middle-school elective for 7-8 graders which covers basic computer applications and research skills.
