Library Schedule 2010 - 2011

Our library media center is designed to be utilized by students, teachers, and parents. We offer a wide variety of media in our collection, including over 14,000 books, DVDs, videos, educational software, magazines, and a reference section. The goal of the Library Media Center is to provide support to teachers and parents, and to promote literature appreciation, to promote independent use of the library, and to encourage life-long learning in our students.

One of the most important functions of the library media center is to promote reading and literature appreciation.  We do this through story-time, and by offering students a variety of books and reading materials, from classical literature to new selections from today’s most popular authors. We also do book talks, author studies, display boards, and library skills classes. 

Students are encouraged to check-out and read AR books by participating this year in the Bruno Challenge. Each year, we also hold a book fair.  This is an opportunity for students to purchase books and for our library to see what new and exciting selections are available that should be purchased for our collection. 

Through our library program, we teach students to become independent users of the library.  Students learn to use our computerized library catalog to locate books and materials on the shelves.  They also learn to use a variety of reference materials, such as encyclopedias and almanacs.  Through our classrooms and our library media curriculum, we strive to promote a love of reading and a love of learning in our students.
