The library media program in MCPS provides access to ideas, information, and learning opportunities that enable each student to function effectively in an information-based society. We want students to achieve the following goals, which are our guidelines in implementing instruction:

To locate and use materials and equipment.
To review, evaluate, and select materials.
To learn and apply study, research, and thinking skills.
To comprehend content in various types of media.
To retrieve and manage information.
To develop lifelong reading habits.
To appreciate literature.
To value books and other media.
To create print and non-print media. 

The media program at Cedar Grove provides direct instruction to students in order to meet these goals. We work closely with your child's teacher to plan media skills activities which are integrated into the classroom curriculum. In addition, we strive to support reading for pleasure by maintaining a strong collection of fiction, nonfiction, and award winning materials.
