The Hanscom Library Program supports all curriculum areas and aims to help students become enthusiastic, competent, life-long library users. The program is literature based and most skills are taught within the context of a subject area assignment. Close cooperation with classroom teachers and subject specialists reinforces specific skills in reading, listening, speaking, writing, and obtaining and critically interpreting information through print and electronic sources.
