Follett Library Systems is used to do our collection analysis which is run one to two times each school year.
Riverview LMC
Riverview Elementary School is a K – 3 Sage building that has a student body averaging 410 over the past five years. Being a Sage school means that each classroom typically has 15 students to one teacher. There are five classes at each grade level (Kindergarten – 3rd).
Elementary Special Education students are located in this school, necessitating more diversity of materials (manipulatives, games, theme bags, books on tape). There is a large Hispanic population, thus necessitating a collection that reflects the needs of the ELL students. Riverview is also under a federal Reading First Grant, and many Award-winning books have been added to our collection as a result.
The Library Media Specialist is also in charge of the library collection that is housed at the Wautoma Early Learning Center (4-year old Kindergarten), located a few blocks away. The database reflects these copies as well.
