2nd Graders Learn to use the Library Catalog: How the Library is Organized

Teaching the 2nd graders how to use the library begins with teaching them about how the library is organized, so they will know how to choose an item from their search results. The major sections correspond to the prefix on the call numbers:

 E = Everybody Section where you'll find picture books

FIC = Fiction Section where you'll find chapter books

# (numbers) = Non Fiction where you'll find everything that is NOT fiction- jokes, poetry, fact books, dictionaries, fairy tales, cookbooks, biographies and more.


S = series section- this can be Everybody, Fiction, or Non Fiction


eAUD = Free downloadable audio books through a NetLibrary account. (See post from Sept. 14.)

When students are looking at search results they should be thoughtful about which books they choose to check out. You can visit the Library Catalog with your student. Ask them to tell you what they know about choosing books.
