MS 51 Library Program:

The MS 51 Library Media Center, under the direction of Ms. Barrer, is committed to inspiring, encouraging, and facilitating students to realize their potential through the availability of print and digital resources, as well as instruction in information, digital, and media literacy. 

Ms. Barrer curates an evolving collection of diverse and inclusive materials on multiple platforms to support MS 51's students' academic, cultural, and social-emotional understanding and integrity. 

The Library's programming includes technology usage; information, digital, and media literacy; research proficiency; assistance with printing and presentation; library and catalog navigation; readers' advisory; homework help; offline board gaming; and arts enrichment.  

Themed displays provide conversational starting points for MS 51 students to learn and exchange ideas. Library leaders who join the Library Squad assist with Destiny circulation, library organization, library displays, and develop relationships with local libraries.

The MS 51 Library Media Center is the beating heart of the school where students are encouraged to be curious, to be inclusive, to be rigorous, to show integrity, and to be kind.
