Media Center

Library Media Center

The Dixie Elementary School Library Media Center (LMC) is a very busy place. All classes visit the LMC weekly for a story-time and/or an information literacy lesson and to check out books.

Our Mission is to assist members of the Dixie Elementary School (DES) community in becoming effective seekers and users of information, to foster a love of reading, and to build a foundation for lifelong learning.
In collaboration with the school’s learning community, the library will provide support for teaching and learning by providing access to a quality collection and technologies.

Our library is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Each class visits the library once a week for a 45-minute lesson and book exchange during these hours. Open Access is available daily from 2:25 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. every Friday. This allows students and teachers to use library resources and receive assistance from the media specialist.
