The Mossy Creek Middle School Media Center Program is an integral part of the school’s total instructional program. Our philosophy is built around three main beliefs. First, we believe that our students need instruction in information literacy skills so that they can efficiently access, use, and communicate the ever-increasing information available in our world today. Second, we believe that, because students who like to read will read, it is important to help students develop a love of reading. Third, we believe that the media center collection should support the curriculum and instructional program of the school.
Mossy Creek Middle School Media Center Mission Statement
"The mission of the Mossy Creek Middle School Media Center is to guide, motivate, and inspire our students toward becoming productive and educated citizens who are effective users of information technology and lifelong readers."
The Mossy Creek Middle School Media Center is a fully functional, fully accessible Media Center containing over 5,000 entries including books, videos, audiotapes, DVDs, CD-ROMs, and other audiovisual materials. The Media Center is fully automated through the services of Surpass. Patrons have access to the Microsoft Office Suite, Reading Counts reading incentive program, other educational programs, and the Internet through 13 computer workstations. Scanners, digital cameras, and a video camera are available to provide students with the resources needed for project development. A wide selection of Reading Counts books supports the school-wide RC program. An extensive professional library is available for the faculty and staff. Our county has acquired a county-wide subscription to TeachingBooks.Net, a multimedia website that generates enthusiasm for books and reading by providing original, up-close profiles of authors and illustrators, audio excerpts of books readings, guides to thousands of titles and a wealth of resources on children's and young adult literature all in one place. Information on at-home use of this site is available on this website and the Houston County Board of Education site.
