The
Arlington Elementary School Library serves as the hub of the
educational program. The mission of the library program is to ensure
that students and staff are effective and efficient users of ideas
and information. The library program promotes literacy and the joy
of reading; provides guidance in the use of information,
instructional materials, and educational technology; and serves as a
resource for materials and activities that promote life-long
learning. The facility houses a collection of over 11,000 books,
magazines, and audiovisual materials. The circulation of materials
is automated and students will soon be able to search the holdings
online. A CD-ROM research station and an Internet station provide
electronic access to information. |

reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you
