Media Program
2011- 2012


Welcome Back to the Media Center!


We are very excited to start the new school year in the media center. All students will visit the media center the second week of school for an orientation and checkout. Until your class comes for your first visit, there will be no checkouts while we enter students into the system.
Kindergartners and first graders will check out one book each time they visit with their classes. Students in second through fifth grades will be allowed to check out two items from the media center. In third through fifth, one of those items may be a magazine, which is due back the next day. Books are due in two weeks, but they may be renewed one time. Kindergarten, first, second and third grade classes will be allowed to sign up every other week for the media center time. Fourth and fifth grade will be once a month. There will be open time frames for additional lessons for classes if a collaborative lesson is planned with the media specialist.
Library skills will be taught to all students K-5 when they come in the media center with their classes. It's our job to see that students become effective users of ideas and information. We will be happy to work with students to help them find appropriate reading materials and resources for research projects. Just ask! We're here to help, and we look forward to a fun and exciting year at Lake Forest Elementary.

ALl Library Books Due- May 6, 2011

All library books are due on Friday, May 6, 2011 for inventory. We will begin our inventory on Monday, May 9, 2011. If a student's library book was lost or damaged, the student is resposible for paying for a replacement. Library binding is very expensive, so please try to find those lost books. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the media center.

Paperback Book Swap week of May 2, 2011

In celebration of Children's National Library Week, we are hosting a Paperback Book Swap in the media center the week of May 2-6, 2011. All studetns are encouraged to bring in an age appropriate paperback book from home and swap it for another age appropriate paperback book. Please make sure your paperback books are in good condition. Good condition means...no torn or missing pages and no writing inside the paperback book. Hope to see you at the paperback book swap:)

New Books Are Here!

We are receiving new books over the next few weeks which include class sets/novel studies, Georgia On My Mind, Social Studies series, National Parks, and many great favorites. We are working very hard to quickly get them processed and on the shelves of our media center for check out. As our collection keeps growing, stop by and see the new titles available.
