===﻿I would like to welcome all of the class of 2021 as well as new students in grades 4, 5, and 6 and sixth grade faculty to the Selinsgrove Area Intermediate School. I am looking forward to an exciting year as I have the opportunity to work with sixth grade for the first time. The library at the Intermediate School is an integral part of the each student's learning and we encourage all of our students to use **their school library** for research and reading. In order for students be able to check out books, each student is part of an orientation where we discuss book care, classroom rules, and policies and procedures through PowerPoint presentations. If you child is absent for these discussions, please have your child view these PowerPoints before he/she checks out any materials. ===

===Throughout the year we celebrate reading with themed events. Some special events that we have observed in the past include "Books ARRRRR Great" Day in observance of "Talk Like a Pirate" Day, "Get Wrapped Up in a Good Book" Day in November to commerate "King Tut" Day, and our annual "Seuss on the Loose @ Your Library" to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday on "Read Across America Day" on March 2. ===

===Students in grades 3-5 will receive library instruction throughout the year as we learn about fiction and nonfiction genres, library call numbers, reference materials, the computer catalog, copyright law, evaluating resources, and bibliographic information. Sixth graders will have the opportunity to hone these skills as they put them into practice through research assignments within the regular academic curriculum. === ===Students are welcome to come to the library throughout the school day to choose from over 18,000 volumes of fiction, nonfiction, and biography books that are available for their reading and research needs. They enjoy browsing familiar titles and series, as well as checking out the hundreds of new books that the library purchases and catalogs every year. === media type="custom" key="10179455" align="center"
