Library Media Center

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.
