Download Freebie now! Center Contracts are lovely for managing the library atmosphere!

This packet includes five free library center contracts. My focus for library grades is on the ‘I can’ center(s). My district library standards have six strands of concentration. They are Inquire, Include, Collaboration, Curate, Explore, and Engage. Students learn library concepts and meet these standards through thinking, creating, sharing, and growing. Enjoy!
