Lessons from the Library April is School Library Media Month, a great time to reexamine your students' library know-how! Do your students know diddly about Dewey? Do they believe that "biography" is a television show? Do they think call numbers belong in a telephone's memory? Are your students convinced that a "librarian" is a person born under the sign of Libra? If so, it's time to reel them in and get them reacquainted with reading, researching, and the library! During your April observance of School Library Media Month, celebrate with lessons that encourage your students to rediscover the wealth of knowledge found in your school's library! This week, Education World provides five lessons that focus on library skills. Mapping the Library Help students compare your school library with another library (a virtual library Web site is provided as one possibility). Save the Library! Alphabetize for a Reason Show students how to organize information by using the alphabet.
