Welcome to the Palmer Pillans Middle School Media Center

Library Mural

The goals of our Library Media Program are to enable students to:

• Access information through learning activities that are integrated into the curriculum and assist students in becoming information literate;
• Select, retrieve, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, create, and communicate information in all formats and in all content areas of the curriculum;
• Use a range of equipment for accessing local and remote information in any format from within and beyond the library media center and the school through electronic networks; and
• Pursue areas of personal interests through reading and accessing information, thereby becoming lifelong learners and effective, responsible citizens in a democracy.

Library Media Information Handbook

We are attempting to reach these goals by: collaborating with teachers who assign research projects, teaching research skills, providing access to Library Media Center materials through the Destiny library automation system, instructing students in the use of the AlabamaVirtual Library (AL) databases, providing passwords to access AVL from home, providing books and magazines of interest to middle schoostudents for pleasure reading, making available videos and DVDs for classroom use by teachers and staff.
