The Library Media program supports student learning with special events and activities. 

This Winter we've had classes come in for BreakoutEDU activities, hosted amazing storytellers as part of the Storytelling Festival, explored landforms with the Augmented Reality  Sandbox, supported a 2nd grade Book Club, and are preparing our 4th & 5th Battle of the Books team for a district-wide competition in the Spring.

Weekly storytime visits with K - 2nd grade allow for access to books and opportunities to listen to beautiful stories for our youngest readers.

Kindergarten and first grade continue with library centers that focus on building love of reading, integrating the arts, and introducing technology and research skills. 

First grade is also reading through the NC Children's Picture Book Award Nominees and will vote on their favorite in March.

Second grade is expanding their access to books by learning to use the online library catalog locating books on the shelves independently.

3rd, 4th and 5th grade students have open Library time every afternoon to check out books. We host bi-weekly Passive Programs that students can participate in that focus on reading, building community, technology, and arts integration. 

The Library Media program supports student learning with collaborative lessons with 3rd - 5th grade teachers that support research skills such as using databases, evaluating the accuracy of sources, and citing their sources.

An author visit, drum building residency, new bee hive...It has been a busy few months in the Library! This fall, we've been celebrating Hispanic Heritage month, book character dress up day, and indigenous voices from around the world. The media center is always buzzing with book clubs, reading groups, afterschool arts programs, and tutoring sessions - never a dull moment!

We are kicking it into gear in the Library with interactive songs and stories, time to look for and check out amazing books, and interdisciplinary library centers for all students. 

3rd, 4th and 5th grade students have open Library time every afternoon. Most teachers use a rotating schedule so that students can visit once each week to check out books. We also have weekly programs that students can participate in that focus on reading, building community, technology, and arts integration.
