Overdue notices are sent through language arts teachers, but students are responsible for going to the library media center to clear fines or to pay for damages to books . The library media center is open for all students with a desire to learn, to read, or to study. The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. The Mabry Junior High School Library Media Center has an extensive collection of books and tests for the Accelerated Reader program.
Educators agree that students improve their reading skills with reading practice.
More than 35,000 schools use this program to promote self-paced, individualized reading. Each student selects his or her own reading material and then reads at his or her own pace. When the student has finished reading the book, he or she takes a computerized multiple-choice quiz. Books are assigned different point values based on the length of the book and its reading level. The program provides immediate feedback to the students by showing them the number of points they earned as well as questions they missed.
