Media Center Services
Warwick's library media centers serve students in grades K – 5. Students attend class once a week for 45 minutes. The library media centers hold open library times through out the week, in which students or classes utilize the library and its resources. The library is not open to the general public.
The library maintains a collection of print and digital materials which is enhanced with numerous online resources. Students, parents and staff are apprised of the online resources through instruction during faculty meetings, PTA meetings and class time, and have access to the library website from home or school. During class time students are instructed in the effective use of information and technology. Key components of instruction include, but are not limited to, the use of Google Slides, Google Docs, the use of databases, video production techniques, Internet safety, research skills, computer concepts such as coding, and of course book selection. A love of reading is developed from Kindergarten on through the performance of plays, written and artistic response to literature, and dramatic reading.
Elementary library media centers follow the Warwick policy of allowing weekly book checkout. Although students are limited to three items, they are allowed any number of books over that amount if the materials are needed for research and reports. Staff, faculty and parents may also borrow materials from the library.
