Mission

The mission of the Conkwright Middle School Media Center is to provide a variety of information in a variety of formats that supports curriculum standards.  These resources need to be accessible to all library patrons.  As well, the environment should support collaboration among adults that helps assist students' information needs and helps to develop students into life information seekers.

The media center should be the hub of the school's educational activities.  Achieving such a media center hinges on many different facets-a collaborative relationship among the media center specialist, the teachers, and administration; a well-developed collection in a variety of formats that is fully integrated into the school's curriculum and provides for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all; a well organized facility making location of information easily accessible; a well-developed media center curriculum that teaches research skills as needed; a program that incorporates technology for research as well as for presenting research; and an open, inviting  atmosphere that inspires a love for reading and life long learning.  A thriving school media center is a vital component to a successful learning environment.

Students may check out two items-books and magazines-at a time for a period of two weeks.  Reference books may be checked out overnight.  Overdue fines are not collected from students, but students must turn in overdue books before they are allowed to check out other books.

Students may use the computers for school related work only.  Students and their parents must have completed the Acceptable Use Policy to gain access to the Internet and other computer resources.  See guidance counselor for an AUP form.
