Wasco LRC

In the Wasco Learning Resource Center, students work together to solve problems, think creatively, explore content, make connections and discover new ideas. We are readers, thinkers, and creators!

In the LRC we:

• assist students and educators to effectively access print and online resources and to be users and evaluators of ideas and information.
• foster a love of reading and learning in all students.
• curate print and digital resources for students and educators.
• provide a platform for students to utilize creative thinking, problem-solving skills, innovation, and collaboration.

When classes visit the LRC, they can expect a lesson from Mrs. Furlong, the LRC Director, that is co-planned with the classroom teacher. The lesson is often integrated with the current focus in Units of Study, science or social studies. Library skills, digital citizenship, author studies, and research skills are also at the forefront of planning and instruction. LRC lessons are intended to be engaging, authentic, and personalized for the students. Throughout the school year, students will learn to use a variety of platforms to showcase their thinking and learning with the class.

Checking Out Books

The library is designed to be open and responsive to the needs and interests of students and staff. Children are welcome to exchange books and browse throughout the school day. Students may check out up to four books at a time. The loan period for materials is one week; students may renew books.

Notices are sent as a reminder to return any books that are overdue. If your child loses or damages a book, he or she should inform the LRC staff so the book can be marked lost or damaged in our circulation system. The LRC Staff will contact families for replacement options.
