The media center is the hub of the learning process at our middle schools. Classes are scheduled into the center based on need and availability. Information literacy skills are taught through integration with the curriculum. Working collaboratively with the teachers, the media specialist provides access to a wide range of materials, both text and electronic. The media specialist provides an extensive variety of print and non-print material for student and teacher use. An excellent collection of Young Adult (YA) materials is available for all students for research and reading for pleasure. Students and staff may check periodicals out overnight. The media center is open from 7:55 a.m. to 2:55 p.m. for independent student use. During the school day, individual students may use the center with a pass from their teacher. Classes are routinely scheduled into the media center for research projects. The middle school media centers are now automated and provide students with an opportunity to learn valuable "searching" techniques. Both middle schools have Internet Labs, allowing students access to the Internet for information as part of the research process. The media center also provides computers for CD-ROM searching. In addition, the middle school media specialists
develop an annotated reading list that students may
refer to for their summer
reading.
