The library media center at Margaret Beeks Elementary School is well equipped with books and other materials to help meet the various needs of our students and faculty. This provides direct access to the Internet and its many resources. The Alexandria on-line catalog allows our students and staff to find out which books are available and to place a hold on a book that is checked out.
Patrons can also find out which materials they have borrowed.
Our card catalog is still available and useful to our patrons. State and county monies for networking and hardware needs of the library and eventually throughout the school is allowing us to begin sharing computer programs. The on-line catalog, World Book Encyclopedia, laser printer, Accelerated Reader, and SIRS Discoverer will soon be available through networked computers in various parts of the building. Students have a half hour each week when they visit the media center for, book selection,instruction, browsing, and reading. They are welcome to visit any time during the day for their learning needs.
