Welcome to the Media Center ! This slide show will review the media center policies and procedures!

Friendly Faces Mrs. Smith I am looking forward to a great year and am very excited to get to know the TZ students and their families. It is my goal to provide students with the tools they need to be successful critical thinkers and to nurture a love for learning and literature. Mrs. Scheuermann.

Please help your child take care of his/her library books and keep them in a safe place from siblings. We will continue to have our Reading Counts program, Young Hoosier books, and a variety of research projects in collaboration with classroom teachers. We love to have volunteers and visitors in our Library Media Center. Please contact me if you can help out in any way. For Your Information

A flexible schedule is implemented for Monday- Friday. Teachers may bring their classes to the library for checkout, research, and YH read-alouds, etc. Students may checkout a variety of books and depending on the type of book he/she may keep it for 1 week and then renew it or they may return it at any time. If it is a Reading Counts book they may take their quiz on it after reading the entire book. Our Checkout Schedule
