The library media center is only as good as the support it receives from the District, the school and its patrons. The return of materials ON TIME is crucial for supporting the curricular needs of all students. It is important for patrons to return materials for others to access. Waiting until the end of the year to return overdue books is not acceptable. It becomes each patron’s responsibility to meet deadlines and, out of consideration for other users, to return materials no longer needed.
Parents are invited to visit the media center to see the day-to-day operation and to make suggestions for a stronger, more functional center.
