The main objectives in the Kindergarten Library Programme are:
 * To introduce students to use the library and its resources for all of their information needs
 * To make connections with the Units of Inquiry developed in the PYP Kindergarten Curriculum
 * To create an atmosphere through which the students will regard the library as warm, inviting, friendly, and an interesting place to visit
 * To help the students develop listening skills and discussion skills
 * To teach the students the proper care of books
 * To help the students to begin an appreciation of literature
 * To introduce, review, and reinforce library terms and concepts
 * To collaborate with the classroom teacher to incorporate these skills into all areas of the curriculum
