Media Center Services
Equipment
If you need any classroom equipment, such as student response clickers, TV's, projectors, digital cameras, a video recorder, let us know. There is a Media Equipment form at the check-out desk that can be filled out for equipment needed and dates of use.
Newspapers in Education
The media center is involved in the Newspapers in Education program and has copies of The Youngstown Vindicator and Tribune Chronicle on the circulation desk. If you'd like to borrow a copy for any classroom Current Events studies, please let Sue or me know. Copies of both papers are delivered each weekday morning to the media center. Come in and catch up on all local news!
Laminating
Sue will laminate materials for you. Just lay place your items in the laminating box which is located on the book shelf beside the library printers. Make sure your name is attached and she will get them done.
Student Library Visits
Students visiting the media center during the school day without a classroom teacher, will need a pass signed by the teacher. This ensures that students are where they should be at the time they should be there. Students must sign in and out on the circulation desk sign-in sheet when they enter and leave the library.
Overdue Notices
Sue regularly prints overdue notices and student library aides deliver them to students. Sometimes, however, overdue notices may be put into your mailbox. If this happens, Sue and I ask for your help in distributing them to your homeroom students as soon as you receive them. Thank you!
Projection Cart, E-reader, Flip Camcorders
The media center one multi-media cart available for use. It has a laptop, a projector, speakers , and DVD/VCR players. Also available for loan are two e-readers and two Flip camcorders. Please give us 48 hour notice if you would like to borrow the e-readers or the Flip camcorders because they need to be charged prior to being used.
