Media Center Philosophy
The media center serves as the hub of the instructional program at East Jackson Elementary School. The purpose of the media center is to provide a safe and caring learning environment for students and staff to become effective users of ideas and information. In addition, the media center provides opportunities for students to become critical seekers of knowledge, users of media in all formats, and independent, lifelong learners who are productive members of an ever-changing global community. Students and staff freely access the facility throughout the day for a variety of needs. Students visit the library individually, in small groups, or as a whole class. The media specialist collaborates with classroom teachers to integrate information literacy skills into meaningful contexts. The EJES media center exists to provide a wide variety of materials and resources to extend and complement the curriculum presented in the classroom. The goal of the EJES media center is to provide a comfortable environment where students, staff, and community members feel free to read, ask questions, express opinions, and explore ideas.
