The Media Center program strives to develop media information skills and inspire a love for reading in all students. Students are encouraged to read quality books that are at or above their grade level and to read from many genres such as mystery, poetry, folk literature, biographies, autobiographies, science fiction, historical fiction and realistic fiction to see what genre they enjoy most. Students learn to locate their books independently using the Dewey Decimal System.
The Media Center program incorporates technology to prepare students to function in an information age. Students will use online catalogs used by our local, county and state libraries, learn how to search an online encyclopedia and learn how to evaluate the accuracy and authenticity of a website.
