The Media Center is an integral part of Bonaire Middle School’s total instructional program and a dynamic place of daily discovery and learning. Our collection offers over 14,000 books, magazines, and reference materials for student use.
The primary goals of the Collins Media Center are to facilitate and to support the learning process through information literacy. One component of our program develops independent, lifelong learners by teaching students the basic skills of access to both print and non-print information sources. In this component, students use technology skills and equipment as they learn and refine search and research skills. The second component of our program offers resources to support the instructional program. A wide variety of materials are used to stimulate student interests and to support their academic needs.
Finally, a broad spectrum of services, focusing on the best utilization of the media center materials and resources by both students and staff, underlies the entire program. In order to achieve our goals we have established the following objectives:
1. To acquire materials to support the demand of the curricula and the needs of the students.
2. To assist in the development and achievement of curricular goals.
3. To assist students in the development of attitudes and skills enabling them to become life-long learners.
4. To provide learning experiences that encourage users to become discriminating, conscientious, and skilled creators of information.
5. To prepare students to function in a technological society.
6. To serve student reading needs, both educational and recreational.
7. To serve as an educational partner with the community in providing information resources.
