Media Center is to provide an inviting program that offers students,
teachers, and the community resources to become life-long learners through
technology and reading achievement.T he PSE Media Center is truly the "hub" of the school. The Powder Springs Media Center has more than 17,000 items in its collection to support reading for enjoyment and student research projects.The Powder Springs Media Center has 11 multimedia computers. Each computer can be used as a look-up station as well as a work station for students and teachers. Along with many valuable programs, each computer has Internet access. Hours The Powder Springs Media Center is open from 7:15 a.m. - 2:40 p.m. each day. Students may return books to the Media Center from 7:15 to 7:35 every morning. However, checkout does not begin until after morning announcements, usually around 7:55. Students must have a library pass from their teachers in order to visit the Media Center throughout the day. Policies and Procedures The 
media center uses flexible scheduling to accommodate students, staff
and parents. This means that the media center is always open
throughout the day to accommodate patrons.
Students in Kindergarten, first and second grades may checkout one book at a time. Students in third, fourth and fifth fourth and fifth grades may checkout two books at a time. All students may keep their books for up to two weeks. Any student who has not finished reading a book within the two week period may renew his book for an additional two weeks. Faculty members may check out up to forty books at one time for thirty days. Please remember to return any books not in use at the end of each instructional unit. This will give others the opportunity to have access to the materials that you checked out. Parents may check out up to three books at a time for a period of two weeks. We have a Parent Collection that includes books on a wide variety of topics that you may check out.
