The Good Book Island is the first place students stop to look for books to check-out. Here they can preview the best of the best in our library.
The Perry Hill School Media Center is bright, beautiful, and well-organized. Come on a tour with me through the Media Center and take a good look around!
The Circulation Desk is where students check-out their books at each library visit. Shelf-markers reside here for students to utilize when searching for books. Mrs. Conway gives out bookmarks throughout the year!
The library books in the Perry Hill Media Center have been divided into 6 unique sections: Nonfiction, Biography, Fiction, Reference, Magazines, and Picture books. Let's take a closer look at each of these six sections.
The Nonfiction section of the library contains books with facts and true information on real things, such as ghosts, sports, military machines, pets, cars, and animals. Origami, graphic novels, craft books, and I Spy books are also found here. Nonfiction books are organized on the shelf according to their Dewey number.
The Biography section of the library contains books retelling the life story of somebody who really lived. These people can be from today, such as Derek Jeter or Barack Obama, or from the past, such as Florence Nightingale or Abraham Lincoln.
The Fiction section contains books that tell made-up stories. Fiction genres, such as mystery, historical fiction, realistic fiction, and adventure, are found here. These books are organized alphabetically by author. To locate a specific book title, use Destiny to find the author's name.
The Reference section of the library contains class sets of almanacs, dictionaries, atlases, thesauruses, and encyclopedias. These books do not circulate. They are used in Library lessons or in the classroom upon teacher request.
The Magazine section contains a variety of different subscriptions to meet a variety of interests. We have Boy's Life, Discovery Girls, Sports Illustrated for Kids, National Geographic for Kids, Dig, Odyssey, Faces, Cricket, Highlights, Zoobooks, and more!
The Picture Book section contains a variety of picture books students may remember from grade school that they can check out to take home to read to younger brothers and sisters. Students may also check these out if looking for a fun and simple read!!
I hope you enjoyed this tour through our Media Center. Please let me know if you have any questions!!
