The Dranesville Elementary School Library classes will include book check out (students select library materials that reflect individual reading ability, areas of interest, and/or specific research needs), information literacy skill lessons and activities, and literature appreciation. Students needing additional reading material or research materials may use the library during open access times.

Instructional activities for acquiring library and research skills begin in kindergarten. Each grade level will be involved in instructional activities that will increase students' knowledge of the online catalog, organization of library materials, and technology in a variety of applications to develop 21st Century Skills.
