Library Services
School libraries are engaged in the implementation of the New York State Learning Standards. Teachers of information literacy help students become information consumers, and are producers and arbiters of content in all formats. School librarians collaborate in designing curricula, developing learning experiences, and providing technical infrastructure for all classrooms, including differentiated instruction, special programs, gifted students, and students with special needs.
The Erie 1 BOCES School Library Services team provides library coordination and curriculum support services to 19 component school districts and member independent schools. The service is a state-aid funded program under Education Law 284. This aid allows for Erie 1 BOCES School Library Services to be available at no cost to its membership.
Our mission
The Erie 1 BOCES School Library System is a member of a statewide consortia of NYSED Certified School Librarians who enable students to become lifelong learners through engagement, instruction, and leadership provided to their regional school community.
The membership facilitates services to access quality educational resources, information literacy, the sharing of ideas and advocacy. Library Services also provides professional development to empower and support physical and remote learning environments to help students achieve lifelong learning skills.
The SLS membership supports the rigorous goals of the NYS Common Core Learning Standards for the K-12 population using various technologies and highlighting the school’s library program and its collaborative partnerships.
