Welcome to the Woody Gap School Library

Picture

With fewer than 100 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, Woody Gap is the smallest public school in the state of Georgia.  As such, we have a unique opportunity to serve each and every student on a personal level.  The Woody Gap School Library is committed to providing for the information literacy needs of students at each level throughout their primary and secondary educational career in order to prepare them to excel in a 21st Century world.  Our program is designed to introduce skills in younger grades, and reinforce and expand them as students progress through each grade.

Information literacy lessons begin at the Kindergarten level with proper handling of materials, prediction exercises during group reading time, and analyzing story elements (setting, characters, etc.).  These lessons are continued through elementary school while building information literacy skills such as the proper use of reference materials.  Skills are expanded in middle school by learning specific study skills, ethical uses of information, and evaluating appropriate sources of information.
