The Library Media Center at UCMS serves students' and teachers' information, access, and technology needs. We strive to ensure that students have equitable access to high-quality information and reading materials. We also strive to make the Library Media Center a buzzing learning commons where students are always welcome to read, explore, discover, collaborate, and create. The library is open every school day from 7:30 am - 3:30 pm. We house a collection of about 10,000 print materials (fiction and nonfiction). We also have a digital e-book collection through OverDrive. The library uses the Accelerated Reader reward program to motivate student reading. We have a makerspace full of robots, circuitry kits, building materials, and more.
My name is Kelli McDaniel and this is my 7th year at UCMS! I am originally from Bardstown, Ky, but moved to this area after getting my first job as a social studies teacher at UCMS. I earned my undergraduate degree in History and Social Studies from Western Kentucky University, and my Master's Degree in Library Science from the University of Kentucky. I am passionate about teaching and learning, and always try to encourage a love of learning in all of my kids.
