Collaboration between the librarian and the classroom teacher will be vital to the success of the library media program. \nWhen a classroom visits the library for a scheduled activity a classroom teacher will always be present.\nTo meet the goals of the library media program the minimum time commitments should be observed.\nThe classroom teacher is responsible for scheduling activities, however in some circumstances more than one class can be participating at once (i.e. multiple classes could view the Book Fair preview video.)\nMore time should be allotted when combining scheduled activities (i.e. combining research time and open book exchange)\nSome instructional activities can actually be completed without a library visit, either through video tutorials, a classroom visits by the librarian if possible, or in class assignments\nIn addition to scheduled class visits, students are strongly encouraged to visit independently as needed with a pass.\n
