At GIS Library,
we are proud to be a part of the educational experience
for all students that walk through our doors. We
also enjoy working with teachers, administrators and
community members as well. Mrs. DeSantis and myself
strive to provide educational support and resources on a
daily basis that we feel will have a direct impact on
our students' educational success. Some of the
services we offer are listed below:
-
A well-rounded collection of reading
materials in all genres for grades 3-5. This
collection contains approximately 15,000 holdings.
-
The above book collection contains a
small but growing collection of books written in the
Spanish language.
-
A collection of 39 magazines, 24 of
which are for student use.
-
Approximately 500 Video, audio, DVD
and CD and Play-Away materials are available for classroom use.
-
Internet access to 20 free databases
offered through the NYS Library. Two of these
databases are translated in the Spanish language.
We also have three additional databases that the
school subscribes to. You can access these
databases through the GIS School Library Web page.
-
Audio-visual equipment consisting of
CD/DVD players, video players, televisions, cassette
players, headphones, microphones and extension cords
can be signed out on an as needed basis.
-
Inter-library loan services to the
greater Orange-Ulster BOCES area and the Ramapo
Public Library System.
-
We subscribe to the The
Independent Republican, The Times-Herald Record, and
The Chronicle. We also participate in the
Newspapers-In-Education program in which the
teachers use multiple copies of the The
Times-Herald Record in their classrooms as an
educational resource.
