Ms. Denea Bruce, ET-15 Library Media Specialist

Greetings from the Benjamin Stoddert Elementary School Library Media Center! The Stoddert Library Media Center is a simple room with a profound mission—to expand knowledge and cultivate bookworms. Our library program provides students with instruction, guidance, and research assistance designed to familiarize students with the resources available in the library, teach students to analyze the comparative value of each resource, and to ensure that they select the appropriate resource to meet their information need.

Stoddert students visit the library in class specific small groups, and enjoy a 45 minute library lesson each week. The library curriculum is aligned with DC and National Standards for information and literacy. Students generally engage in a 30 minute standards based lesson, which frequently includes a read-aloud. Thereafter, they peruse our collection and check out a book of their choosing.
