School Librarians are an essential part of every school. They are partners in education, have a vast knowledge of resources for students, teachers and parents, and contribute to a lifelong love of reading and learning in our children. They are knowledgeable in Inquiry-Based Curriculum and collaborate with teachers to engage students in their own learning, one of the important paradigm shifts in education as evidenced in the new Common Core State Standards. School Librarians are responsible for teaching information and literacy skills, maintaining a current collection of resource materials in print and digital formats, keeping up with technology trends and numerous other teaching and administrative responsibilities.
The Capital Region BOCES School Library System (SLS)
is the 5th largest BOCES School Library System in the state, supporting
24 school districts and 19 private schools. We provide professional
development, resource sharing, and print and digital products in support
of our school librarians and their teachers in bringing the best
educational experiences they can to all students in the Capital Region.
