North Allegheny was one of 3,000 libraries across the  country to  receive the We the People Bookshelf Picturing America Grant for all 7 of its elementary schools.  Each school has received a collection of books for young readers. The titles reflect the iconic times. places, and people in American history and culture.  This grant was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities in collaboration with the American Library Association (ALA). The program is designed to encourage young people to read and understand great literature while exploring themes in American history. To learn more click here.

Libraries are learning places where a multitude of resources are available for all to use. NCTE reaffirmed its support of libraries and librarians in a resolution at the 2005 Annual Business Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. See the Resolution on Supporting School and Community Libraries.

 

In June of 2002 the White House held the Conference on School Libraries.  Learn about the importance of strong school library programs and their impact on student learning.
