READER SERVICES
The open-shelf library system is tailored to the use of our students, teachers, and parents. At least one lesson every week of class time is spent reading in our library. Books are lent to students for a 15-day period, the identification of the book and the borrower is saved in the computer. With every book students take a form that makes it easy for parents and teachers to supervise their reading process. The number of pages each student reads in the library and at home are recorded on the form and the records, in the form of charts, are saved on the library computers.
In order to develop research skills, internet services are provided. Every week "Library User Rubrics" are distributed, and in accordance with certain criteria, students can evaluate themselves.
For each grade-level according to established criteria a "Book Based Diploma" is created, and successful students are presented with a diploma. Also, the Turkish Language Department prepares weekend homework for the children to develop their skills and knowledge of the library pages encountered that week.
