Welcome !

The library media center is located on the second floor and is designed to prepare students to become independent, competent users of information and technology, to foster a love of reading, and to support the curriculum. All students are taught specific skills according to their grade level. They learn strategies to locate and evaluate effective print and electronic resources, research techniques, presentation and education software, library citizenship, and responsible/legal use of information. The center is focused on 21st century learning skills so learners can use these skills, resources and tools to:

1)  Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge

2 ) Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge.

3) Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society

4) Pursue personal and aesthetic growth.

Your student has access to the library weekly in class as well as before and after school. Books may be returned and exchanged anytime – they are usually out for a week, but may be extended/renewed. Students may take as many books as they can be responsible for.

Our print collection can be found online at the LION link above.

Our database access link is also at the top of this page and many of these resources can be accessed from home using your school ID number/lunch number.

 

We have 33 ’08 imac Apple computers as part of our center. Students are instructed in a variety of software including word processing, spreadsheets, graphing, drawing, concept mapping, presentation software and educational games.

Volunteers are always welcome in the library. Please feel free to email, stop by or call our Teacher-Librarian at anytime. Leave a message as she cannot answer the phone while teaching classes but will return your call with in a day.
