Welcome

Goals in the Library

Learning Goals as a Whole School:

Our library reading cultivates a lifelong love of reading, drives high academic achievement, and builds a vibrant community of learners. By bridging classroom curriculum with hands-on experiences and digital tools, we empower students from Pre-K through grade 5 to inquire, include, collaborate, curate, explore, and engage their minds.

Mission

The library at Delaware Primary School is a place where all students can read, learn, explore and imagine. 

Delaware Primary School Librarian

Tanisha Huertsa

My name is Ms. Tanisha, and I am proud to be your school librarian here at Delaware Primary —

My goals as a librarian are to create a safe and welcoming environment where people come in and want to stay. This space is to promote accessibility and inclusivity, support lifelong learning and discovery, and foster community engagement. I am committed to providing equitable access to all resources and services including physical accessibility, digital inclusivity, and culturally responsive programming that celebrates diversity. A vital part of my mission is working with students- those who need resources and opportunities by helping students identify their wants and empowering them to find solutions on how to achieve and improve their lives. I believe in the power of the library to be an agent of change, helping communities, influencing how they think and act because I am a firm believer in the transformation of belonging, connection, and knowledge.

 

Kindergarden to 2nd Grade 

Students will extend their classroom read-alouds into the library through weekly questions and projects. Collaborating with classroom teachers, the library will offer:

  • Thematic centers that tie directly to current units
  • Interactive story stations with manipulatives and role-play
  • Guided inquiry activities that spark curiosity

These experiences reinforce early literacy skills, encourage social interaction, and nurture a sense of wonder.

3rd Grade to 5th Grade 

Students will venture beyond their usual reading selections and gain proficiency with digital platforms that make learning interactive. They will:

  • Create engaging book trailers to recommend titles to peers
  • Learn design and research tools such as Canva, PebbleGo, and Microsoft Word
  • Complete curriculum-aligned research projects that emphasize critical thinking

This blend of genre exploration and technology builds confidence, creativity, and research skills.

Checking out a book at Delaware Primary:

We ask that you make sure your child places their book in a safe spot when bringing it home. If books are lost or damaged beyond repair, we ask that you call Ms. Tanisha at 315-435-4542. Library books are expensive! However, we ask you to make sure your child is taking care of their book so another child can use it. We never want cost to be a factor in the ability for your child to check out books.
