Open Access: 

The purpose of open access library time is to allow students/teachers to access the library media center when they need it for reading materials or for research. Classroom teachers may send up to 3 students at a time from their rooms. A pass of some type should be carried by the student for safety reasons. 

If individuals/small groups are coming for research purposes, then a copy of their research assignment should be sent with them to assist with the research process. If a large group of students all from one class needs to use the library media center during a flexible time, teachers may bring them and supervise them as they use the library during these times.   

 

Big Universe:

Our students have access to an on-line library with 4,085 nonfiction and fiction books through Big Universe. The books and activities offered on the Big Universe website can be accessed from school or home. Students use the username and password assigned to them for Accelerated Reading.
