The library program supports the acquisition of foundation curriculum area Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Examples of how library programs support learning follow:

• Students are taught that they have many print and electronic resources in the library and how to locate them so that they can frame questions and conduct research in English language arts.

• Students have access to a variety of rich material such as biographies; folktales, myths, and legends; and poetry, songs, and artworks to support learning in social studies.

• Students research scientific topics with the librarian's assistance and use computers and information technology tools to support their investigations as a part of learning in science.

• Students build a foundation of basic understandings in number, operation, and quantitative reasoning; patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking; geometry and spatial reasoning; measurement; and probability and statistics through examples provided in resources in the library as a part of learning in mathematics.
