Media Center Philosophy
The
Britt Elementary Media Center houses a collection of print and non-print
resources to support the GCPS curriculum and AKS. Our goal is to
provide teachers and staff with the instructional materials to successfully
provide instruction and learning activities necessary for student
achievement.
Also, for students, we strive to encourage and promote reading,
develop the skills necessary to access information and to foster
a love of lifelong learning.
The Britt
Media Center is open each and every day of the school year during
school hours.
Media
Center Policies
Students
in kindergarten, first and second grades are allowed to check out
one book at a time. Third, fourth, and fifth grade students are
allowed
to check out two books at one time. The check out period is two
weeks, and students are allowed to renew books. Students may use
the Internet in the media center but they must have a signed AUP
form on file with the Technology Coordinator and bring an
Internet pass from their teacher with the specific website listed
on the pass.
Students
who keep library books beyond the due date will receive an overdue
notice. Overdue notices are printed and distributed to teachers
once a week. These notices are sent home with students, usually
in their Friday folder. Students who have lost a library book are
expected to pay for a replacement copy in a timely manner. Replacement
costs of books range from $5.00 to $20.00 depending on the book.
