1	Powers Ferry Media/Technology Information Center a.k.a. The Library Open the door to the universe with READING, RESEARCH, and COMMUNICATION.
2	Now let’s begin! Let’s travel from fiction to fact in books or on the information super highway.
3	Can we help you? Mrs. Gaskins, Media paraprofessional Mrs. Ray and Mrs. Culbertson, Media Specialists
4	In the media center you can.... Research information in books, magazines, CD-ROM programs, or the Internet. Listen to a storyteller or a visiting author. Curl up and read a book or check one out. Produce a multi-media project.
5	Checking Out Books Remember book buddies! 2 week check-out time. You may renew once. Grades K-3 may check out 1 book and grades 4 and 5 may check out 2 books. If you need more books, let us know. You may bring a book back early and get another one.
6	What about overdues? It’s OK to get an overdue notice, but return the book then or the next day. Let us know right away if you think you have already returned it. We need to find it. You may not check another book out if you have one overdue.
7	What can I do to help? Be prepared to tell the checkout person your first and last name. Return chairs and books to the correct space when you are finished. Assist others on the computer or with a book’s address. Use inside voices and behavior.
8	How Can I Get to Come to the Media Center? Before 7:45 in the morning for a quick check-out. With your class for a lesson or story. Alone when you need a book or to do research. With a small group working on a project. When you need help with multi-media production.

13	You are responsible! Don’t let a friend have the book checked out to you. Don’t let the book get wet. Put the book in a safe place away from dogs and babies. Return the book like you found it--not ripped or written in.
14	Remember! Take charge of your reading and research. You must tell your teacher when you need a book or to do research. Everyone can come! Ask your teacher to find the time.
15	What will I learn here? How to select a book using a computer. How to use the book’s address or Dewey number to find the book. How to get information from materials for research. How to use different forms of materials like print, AV, or electronic media.
16	And you will learn to be independent user’s . You will be in charge of getting the information you need. You will decide what book or resource to select. You can choose to use print or non-print resources. You can choose where to study or read.
