Staff members will receive a monthly form from the Media Center (CONNECT TO THE LIBRARY). You will be able to list your Science & Social Studies research projects for the upcoming month & the book genre your students will be asked to report on. The major goal of the Media Center is to integrate and coordinate the learning going on in the classroom with the library skills being introduced in the Media Center. You may also request books that you will be needing for that month. If we do not have it in our collection, we will order it for you, through our inter-library service. Our aim is to keep lines of communication open. We welcome your suggestions on improving our collection to better serve our students. Please feel free to request books to be placed on a wish list that would help enhance your classroom units. Our Media Center is a user friendly place, please come visit us often and keep those lines of communication open!
We have ordered books to supplement your reading program. Please come visit us to check out our new books!!!!
