The library media center is open every day for students to return and
check out new books as needed. Students may visit the library during
Express Checkout or during their regularly scheduled library period.
Students are responsible for lost or damaged library books. Damaged books
should not be mended at home. Please return them to the library media
center for repair. If a book is damaged beyond repair, the replacement
price of the book will be charged. Overdue
fines are not charged for late books. However, a student’s circulation
privileges may be suspended if overdue books are not returned or if
lost/damage fees are pending.
Our
library media center serves over 400 patrons (PS-Grade 5). It contains
more than 10,000 print and non-print materials. Our library media
specialist is Angie Smith, and our part time clerk is Jackie Hathaway.
A combination of weekly scheduled library periods and open library provide
the library media specialist with the opportunity to instill in children a
love of literature and teach them skills to access information from print
and nonprinting resources. The Virginia Standards of Learning are an integral
part of the library skills lessons.
The
ability to locate and use information is the key to becoming a lifelong
learner. This is the library media center’s goal for our students and
staff members. It is also our desire to promote the benefits and enjoyment
of reading. The library media specialist administers and supports
the Accelerated Reader Program that is networked throughout the building.
Students read books from a special list, take short multiple-choice
quizzes.
