Blanche Sims's Media Center is a child centered place, enriched with good literature and emerging technologies. The media program creates a supportive, responsive environment for staff and students with access to resources and technologies. Our goals are to cultivate a love of reading, encourage students to become lifelong learners and to ensure that all students become effective users of information and technology.

The Media Center is open five days a week during school hours. Students have a scheduled class time at least once a week, but are also welcome to come down anytime to check out a book.

Books are circulated for one week and most may be renewed. Students in kindergarten and first grade check out 1 book at a time. Students in second grade check out 2. Third through fifth graders check out 3 and may choose a 4th for an assignment. Lost or damaged books are billed at replacement costs.
