Our media program focuses on providing library media instruction integrated with classroom learning. Instruction is designed to teach media appreciation and information skills that meet the learner outcomes across all instructional areas. In addition, our media staff is responsible for helping integrate technology and research skills into the curriculum in our building.

We service over 700 patrons through regularly scheduled media classes, informal research groups, inservices to staff members and parents, as well as one on one instruction. Currently we are teaching 37classes of students in grades K-5 each week and have a weekly circulation of over 1200 books.

The media center is open each morning between the hours of 7:30 - 7:55 for independent check-out and students are invited to visit after unpacking in their classroom. Our collection is chosen with care to reflect the needs of all students and staff at Linton Springs. The media center currently contains 12,953 titles.

We have 15 search stations for card catalog access, Internet access, and CD-ROM research. A scanner and a digital camera are also available for teacher directed student use. In addition, our card catalog is available on over 100 computers throughout the building. Our collection provides an abundance of quality resources in all formats to meet a wide range of learner abilities, developmental levels, and modalities.

One way of disseminating information to the school community is through our weekly media sponsored TV show that is run entirely by the fifth grade and is viewed by the entire school. Parent involvement is highly encouraged and helpers are always welcome.
