About Us
Stewart County Middle School Library is at the core of effective learning and plays a vital role serving grades 6th-8th grades in all content areas, the program is interested in the needs and abilities of all the members of the school's learning community. It is the natural hub for bringing teachers and library media specialist together. This mission is accomplished by providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats to foster competence and stimulate interests in reading, viewing and using information and ideas; and to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students.
The classroom teacher is actively involved in identifying the learning needs of students, developing teaching units, and guiding students' progress in life long learning. Together the teacher and the library media specialist can offer meaningful practice in using a variety of information resources.
Students experience with information that moves away from learning traditional library location skills taught in isolation. Instead, they learn information literacy skills that are embedded into the curriculum. The acquisition of these skills provides a solid foundation of information literacy that will prepare students for a lifetime of learning. By guiding students toward self-discovery and self-direction, the library media program helps in promoting the learning of skills and attitudes essential to academic, vocational, and personal development.
