Barstow Elementary School has a beautiful Media Center that is filled with over 10,000 brand NEW books! Each book just waiting for a child to check it out and go on a new adventure.
Barstow Media Center is open during school hours. If students forget their library book during their scheduled day, they may come at the beginning of the day to get a new book.
All students come to the media center with their class once a week. The allotted time is 45minutes. Students receive a 30minute lesson that is connected with the Maryland State Voluntary Curriculum in Media. Whenever possible, the lessons are integrated with the current curriculum that is being taught in their classroom. After the lesson, students have a 15 minute 'browse and borrow' period. Students in grades 2-5 use our automated card catalog system which is web based called Destiny to look for books that they might want to check out.
Every first week of a new month, students in grades 2-5 may check out 2 books as long as they have returned their book from the prior week.
