Students are provided one-on-one book selection assistance where needed/requested. Lessons and skillsets are provided, SSR is offered, and the LRC MakerSpace is open for use. The Kelvin LRC provides Centers & Stations, along with the TECH PETTING ZOO. #kglrc #Read91

Charles' Law & How A Mistake Turned Into COOLNESS!

Bake that Bread! :)

"Prehistoric people probably began to bake bread about 10,000 years ago. Later, in ancient Mesopotamia, people used stones to grind grain, and then added water and cooked the mixture over a fire. Archaeologists have found bread in the remains of a village of Swiss lake dwellers who lived about 4,000 years ago. A basket of bread that had been baked about 3,500 years ago was found where it was buried in a tomb at Thebes, Egypt."

FY20 KG LRC STUDENT GOAL

The Kelvin Grove LRC student goal is to increase individual reading appreciation, joy and comprehension by experiencing a wide variety of literature and non-fiction texts supportive of District 91 curriculum and Illinois Learning Standards; to engage students using S.T.R.E.A.M. concepts, increase library/ research skills and strengthen digital citizenry through hands-on activities in LRC Centers and MakerSpace; and to have FUN while meeting this goal!

What is it?

The LRC integrated library management system provides students with digital means of discovery and reading in a way that's both fun and engaging. Students take ownership of their library searches, resources and accounts. Students can browse the collection, place items on hold and create lists for recreational reading and research projects, too. Our interactive solutions allows the librarian and staff to keep thorough, real-time track of inventory and media assets. Encourage learning and teacher-student collaboration by improving your school library’s efficiency and simplifying access to educational resources. Many features built in to our software platform foster learning and development in both the library and classroom. Thus, K-12 schools and districts across the board choose the Follett® Destiny Library™ Manager over any other library management system.

Our interactive solution not only allows librarians and staff to keep thorough, real-time track of inventory and media assets, but our integrated library management system also gives students digital means of discovery and reading in a way that’s both fun and engaging!
