Media
Center Overview
The Morris School District Library Media Centers provide
a dynamic and stimulating environment which encourages
the love of reading and learning to students, teachers,
administrators and the community. Incorporating an
active partnership with teachers in a setting of open
physical and intellectual access, we provide a program
of interactive experiences leading students to be information
literate, effective and ethical users and producers
of information and ideas, as well as lifelong learners.
Our students are encouraged to use a wide variety of
print, nonprint, and electronic resources to develop
critical skills in locating, accessing, selecting,
evaluating, and using data to learn, think, and creatively
apply new knowledge. Through a climate conducive to
learning, the Media Center encourages and engages students
in reading, viewing, and listening for understanding
and enjoyment. By both integrating resources with the
curriculum and providing a progressive program of study
in effectively using library resources and technology,
the Media Specialist works collaboratively to foster
independent learning skills through information literacy
programs that are supportive, effective, and vibrant.
