J.T. Reddick Media Center
Our Mission
The mission of the J.T. Reddick Media Center is to create an environment in which all students are empowered to become lifelong learners and readers, and influential users of information and ideas.
To accomplish this, the media center:
provides access to fiction and non-fiction materials in a variety of formats
provides instruction designed to develop information skills
assists students in selecting appropriate reading and research materials
Works with classroom teachers to support units of study in a way that will help students learn to locate, evaluate, and use a broad range of materials and information effectively.
Flexible Schedule
Because of our flexible schedule, you might find students from kindergarten to fifth grade in the media center simultaneously. A class may enjoy a story while other students check out books or explore the latest information available to them on the Internet. The Media Center is a great place to find beautiful books for recreational reading. There is always a new book to read! Students can also access the latest news around the world in our media center and websites on their Chromebooks.
When can students check out books?
Students are welcome to come to the media center whenever they need to select new materials! Students may check books out for two weeks. Students may renew any item. Fines are only due when an item is lost or damaged. Students who do not pay fines or fail to return materials may have borrowing privileges restricted for some time. We hope that our students will become responsible users of the media center materials.
Media Center Expectations
Enter, leave, and work quietly.
Take good care of books.
Return books on time.
Keep our Media Center looking neat.
Always walk in the Media Center
