Literature Links for Primary
I.Q. Goes to the Library
I.Q. Goes to the Library
written by Brook Berg and Nathan Alberg
I.Q., a lovable mouse who lives in an elementary classroom, learns the many uses of a school media center along with the students during Library Week. With the direction of Mrs. Binder, the librarian, I.Q. learns about the resources the library offers for learning.

Activity Idea:
Library use rules are delightfully woven into the story to add teaching moments throughout the book.
