Welcome to our Media Center

Welcome, JCY Scholars, to Your Launchpad for Learning!

Are you ready to unlock the power of knowledge and explore incredible worlds? This year, the Jean Childs Young Middle School Media Center becomes your central hub for adventure and academic success!

Middle school is a time to become a reading ninja! You'll develop the skills to analyze complex texts, master subjects from social studies to foreign languages, and truly own your learning. Whether diving into a gripping novel or conquering a science report, reading becomes your key to information, understanding, and pure enjoyment.

As your Media Specialist, I'm here to equip you with everything you need to become a reading pro!

Beyond our amazing selection of books, you'll have access to a treasure trove of digital resources like MyOn.com, ClassPass, Sora, Comics Plus, and a vast collection of e-books through Destiny Discover. All accessible right from My Backpack!

Get ready to Race 2 Read with our district-wide reading challenge! We at JCY have a goal: 667,000 minutes of reading, together! Log in to My Backpack to join the movement and see how you can contribute.

Are you ready to dive into new adventures? Join our exciting clubs! Become a book champion in the Reading Bowl, explore the world of anime, or broaden your horizons with Lunch and Learn. If you love books and helping others, consider becoming a Library Media Aide and make a difference in our school community. I can't wait to see you in the media center!

Let's embark on a learning journey together! Get ready to explore, discover, and shine!
