Library Media Center
Welcome to the Chapman Library Media Center Website .
In
light of today’s information explosion, a library has come to mean so
much more than just a place to find a good book. At Chapman, your
child’s library class includes a focus on learning how to find answers
and how to process that information and present it to others. We still
read aloud to the primary grades, but the emphasis is on the idea of
library class as “research workshop.” At all levels, the students are
asked to consider their information needs and are encouraged to explore
topics that are meaningful and/or useful to them.
Students may
borrow books, which are checked out for two weeks. Students are
encouraged to renew books when needed. The library does not charge
fines for overdue books, but students are responsible for paying for
lost or damaged books. Refunds are given for lost books that are
returned within the year.
Our staff includes:
Library Media Specialist – Jennifer Istas
Media Technician – Joan Ruotolo
And all our wonderful volunteers!
