The Madison-Oneida BOCES School Library System (SLS) recently received a $20,000 grant
towards their “Ignite the Common Core with Library of Congress Primary Resource Documents”
project. The grant is partly sponsored by the Library of Congress’ Teaching with Primary Sources,

developing lesson plans that incorporate the Common Core. The teams will then pilot these lessons in the
classroom. Teams of pre-service teachers from Syracuse University and Utica College will also participate in the
project. Participants will have access to all Library of Congress primary sources.
SLS Coordinator Diana Wendell will serve as the project manager. Barbara Stripling, a professor of library and

SRC has established a one-on-one mentoring program with the Syracuse City

time with volunteer mentors for about an hour each week.
“Our employees will benefit from this program as much as the students.” said Paul Tremont, president of SRC.
