Mission
The mission of the Rankin Elementary School library media program is to provide a nurturing place that fosters a passion for reading and effective use of ideas and information.
Goals
Our goals are consistent with those from the Guilford County Schools Library Media Department:
What We Have
The following equipment resides in the Media Center with additional items on loan to classroom teachers:
In excess of 14,000 books and reference materials
Several current and past issues of children’s and professional magazines
Videos and books on tape
Networked computers
Smartboard, elmos, eBeams, student response systems, and other interactive technology
Video distribution system
When You Can Have It
Materials may be borrowed by students and staff and are subject to recall:
The Media Center is open during regular school days from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm
Students may checkout items throughout the day with a pass from their classroom teacher. Kindergarten through First Grade may check out 1 book at a time. Students in Grades 2 and 3 may check out 2 books. Three books sets the limit for checking out books in Grades 4 and 5
Books are due in 2 weeks and may be renewed. If any book is overdue, no more books may be checked out until the overdue items are returned
There is no limit to the number of items for teachers to checkout and use in their classrooms
