Curriculum Center
The Curriculum Center is housed in the basement of the library. The Curriculum Center contains items that have been selected by the State Textbook Committee. In May of each year, the State Textbook Committee issues a “Call for Bids” for instructional materials for specific subject areas. These instructional materials are adopted by the State Textbook Committee on a rotating basis, usually for a period of six years. Instructional Technology is adopted every three years. The rotating cycle is available on the State Textbook Committee Website.
The arrangement of the Curriculum Center is by Dewey Decimal System, just like the rest of the books in the library. Dewey Number 372 is where all elementary education books are housed. This is the arrangement:

372.1Organization and activities in elementary education
372.2Specific levels of elementary education
