Welcome to the Media Center!



Going to the library builds a kid's imagination. Books help them discover themselves and the world.

Special Days Books

You are invited to commemorate your child's birthday or any special day, by donating a book to our library in your child's name. Your donation will be recognized by a bookplate in the front of the book which will state your child's name and birthday. The Schuler newsletter and webpage will note your child's contribution to our library collection and your child will be the first to check out his or her "special book". A form and book list is available upon request from the Schuler Media Center. Please contact Janice Dickerson or Linda Shafer if you have questions.

The Media Center


The Schuler Media Center is an integral part of the total school program. The media center staff collaborates with all teachers to coordinate individual classroom needs with the media center resources.

The media center motivates students to learn using both hard copy texts and technology. There are over 6000 books available for check out and 45 computers available for students to use.

Students may always have two books checked out, more if they are needed for an assignment. Parents are welcome to visit the media center. We would be happy to suggest just the right book for you to share with your son or daughter.


Who's Reading What?

Every year we are fortunate to have students who truly love spending time in the Media Center. They check out a variety of books, are disappointed if the book they want to read next is not in, and enjoy telling others about the books they have read. To recognize these readers, their book recommendations will be listed here. Check out new recommendations each month by CLICKING HERE.


Personnel

The Schuler Media Center is staffed by Mrs. Dickerson, Media Specialist, who is in the building on Days 1 and 2 and Mrs. Shaffer, paraprofessional, who is in the Media Center everyday.

They are both happy to help you!


Winnebago is up and running!

Students and teachers are now able to look up titles, authors, and subjects on the computers in the media center. It's easy to find just the right book using this online card catalog.
