The Moharimet Library Media Center is a place where children come to work, learn and explore. It provides services to children and teachers as part of a comprehensive educational experience. The student services are designed to assist the learner in his/her ability to find, evaluate, generate, and apply information. Information skills that are appropriate for each grade level are taught within the classroom teacher's curriculum. The staff of the Library Media Center provides the student with materials and guidance for classroom assignments, pleasure reading, and general information.
The Library Media Center is open to all students throughout the school day. We have an automated circulation system and automated catalog. The library collection is connected to the classroom computers. The library collection is also available on this website. See Library Catalog.
Loan periods:
- one week (grades k-2)
