Bennett-Cooper Middle School Media Center

Bennett-Cooper Middle School Media Center
We Love to Read!!

Welcome

Welcome to our school library's web page. We hope that you find this site useful and enjoyable.


This is a brief summary of how our Media Center works.

Our hours are Monday through Friday 8AM until 2 PM. We hope that you feel comfortable to come anytime into the Media Center where books come to life.

We are located directly behind the front office. Students pass the Media Center every day on their way to lunch and exploratory. We strive to keep the Media Center very inviting and enjoyable to all visitors.

When you come in to the Media Center, and need to check in your book, please go to the computer area. You will scan your book by its barcode, make sure you see the picture of the book appear, and you may place your book with the spine label pointing out on the cart shown on the next slide. All of our students from Pre-K to 5th Check In and Out their books by themselves. We are always available to help you, so do not hesitate to ask.

Next, students place their books with the spine label facing out for everyone to see on the metal cart. This makes it easy for those who would like to look at these books, in hopes of finding a book to check out.

When you have chosen a book, you come to the computer area. First, input your lunch number, scan the book you wish to check out, and press ESC to clear the screen. This is so the person behind you does not check out a book in your name. That can be a mess!
