The
library is open from 8:30 to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. With
18,875 items circulating yearly, this is a busy place! Come see us! Our
Mission:
The media center is a welcoming place that is here to help you, inspire you,
teach you and find what you need. We want you to love reading and learning!
Our Vision:
The media center is not just a room with books, but a rich environment in
which to learn and grow. It is a place to establish a foundation for lifelong
learning and to encourage the learner. Our vision for the media center is
that it will be the hub of the school, the engine that drives a love of learning.
We plan to accomplish this by:
• having professional staff that will work with other professionals
to advocate and accommodate for the needs of all students
• selecting quality materials that reflect a variety of differing viewpoints
in a wide range of formats
•
promoting, reinforcing and supporting all student’s interests
in reading, viewing and listening
• foster excellence in all information concepts
Our students will:
• analyze complex and conflicting presentations of information, recognizing
prejudice and bias
• appreciate differing points of view
• access and use information successfully to make decisions, think
critically and problem solve
• produce new information and communicate ideas with others
• use information responsibly and demonstrate respect of intellectual
property rights and the right to access for all
• be lifelong learners that contribute positively to the learning community Policies
All classes visit the Library Media Center once each week for a 45 minute
time period as part of their regular specials rotations. Teachers are
encouraged and welcome to bring their classes during available flexible
schedule times. In addition to their
weekly visit, students may visit the LMC in the morning before the
start of school from 8:45 to 9:10 AM to exchange books,
participate in extra activities and "talk books" with the media
specialist. Encourage your child to come in – we love seeing them! Students in kindergarten and first grade are allowed to check out one
book each week. Students in second through fifth grades may check out
two books each week.
