Media Center

 

Class information   

Students visit the media center for classes every other week.  During this time, we will discuss books, authors, illustrators, and learn information literacy skills as they relate to classroom curriculum.  We have daily open checkout times available for students to exchange books.  If for some reason, you do not wish for your child to check out books, you must notify the media center in writing.  If we do not receive written notification, we will automatically assume your child may check out books.  I look forward to working with your students.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me .    
 

Book Care

Please encourage your student to take especially good care of their library books.  Many students have water or juice in their bookbags.  This can easily cause damage to our library books.  Please make sure liquids are stored in outside pockets.  We understand accidents will happen, but many "accidents" can be avoided.  Thank you for your help!

  • Vision Statement

    In collaboration with each school’s learning community, the Lee County Schools Library Media Program will be the center of teaching and learning by providing equitable and intellectual access to informational resources and tools that are required for student success by extending and providing an accessible and inviting environment to all stakeholders involved in the learning process.

     

    Mission Statement

    The school library media program is at the core of effective learning and plays a vital role in curriculum development and student achievement. The mission of the Lee County Schools Library Media Program is to assist students and teachers in becoming effective users of ideas and information. This mission will be accomplished by

    • providing up-to-date, high quality, continuously accessible resources in a variety of formats which enrich student learning and improved achievement for all students.
    • structuring learning experiences across the curriculum to ensure that learners will be able to independently inquire, locate, analyze, share, and create new knowledge.
    • providing leadership, instruction, and consulting assistance in the design of learning strategies and the use of information technology.
    • collaborating with other educators to design learning strategies and skills needed for both lifelong learning and lifelong reading.
