Fletcher (Okla.) Public School Library

About

The Fletcher Public School library council, consisting of students in the seventh-11th grades, will use part of the collection to conduct a family night to introduce the collection to parents, as well as through booktalks and during reading buddy times. The collection will also be used to increase and enhance the existing collection in the soon-to-be constructed central library. Debbie Arthur, Fletcher librarian said, "Acquiring this collection will create excitement among the students and community and spark their interest in reading new materials."

Creating a better future for all children through libraries is ALSC’s core purpose.
ALSC envisions a future where:
  • In every library, children come first.
  • All libraries acknowledge the importance of children’s service with adequate materials and resources.
  • All libraries recognize ALSC as a leader in promoting high quality service to children.
  • Libraries recognize and support the value of all staff serving children.
  • Resources, collections, services, and staff reflect the communities they serve.
  • The library’s physical space reflects the developmental needs of children.
  • Children and their families are being served by a variety of non-traditional programs and activities in off-site locations.
In keeping with this envisioned future, the Bookapalooza Program will offer select libraries a collection of materials that will help transform their collection and provide the opportunity for these materials to be used in their community in creative and innovative ways.
