The Media Center is embarking on an exciting and rewarding reading program called "REACH for 1,000,000".  The challenge for students is to read 25 books from different Dewey ranges, to fill out a summary card for each book, and to bring the card to the Media Center. Students receive rewards for reading 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 books. This is not a grade or requirement for an individual class. The purpose of the program is to promote reading and provide an incentive for the students to achieve the Georgia Performance Standards for reading.

The Media Center is the hub for information and technology services at Pine Mountain Middle School.  We are happy to provide a variety of resources (including books, magazines, and networked computers) for students and staff to use in their academic and leisure pursuits.

Need assistance finding accurate and reliable information for a research project or homework assignment? Check out these AWESOME Internet resources available to Pine Mountain students!  All are available for use at school and at home.  (See Mrs. Harris or Mrs. Steiner for home password information.)

The Media Center is open from 8:55 a.m. until 4:15 p.m.  Please see a media staff member if you need to come before 8:55 or after 4:15.  Students may visit the Media Center as part of scheduled classes or individual students may also come at any time if they have permission and a pass from their teacher.

Students may check out two books for three weeks, with the option of renewing if more time is needed.  The student must present the book when he wishes to renew it.  If a book is not returned on time, we do not charge fines, but we do require the return of overdue materials before anything else is borrowed.  If a book is lost or damaged, we must charge the cost of replacement of a "library bound" copy of the book.

Reference books may be checked out for overnight use.
