Mrs. Begin has advanced degrees from the University of Connecticut and from
Southern CT State University. She is an avid reader, of course, and
particularly enjoys the science fiction genre. She has worked at East Shore
Middle School for over fourteen years both as a teacher and as the school
librarian.
It is the goal of this media center to provide the East Shore Middle School
community with the services and resources necessary to foster the education
and enrichment of members of this community. The mission of the library
media
program in grades 6 through 8 is to help students and staff become effective
users of ideas and information as stated in Information Power: Guidelines for
School Library Media Programs.
This mission is accomplished:
• by providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all
formats
(i.e. print and electronic).
• by providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest
in
reading, viewing, and using information and ideas.
• by working with other educators to design learning strategies to
meet
the
needs of individual students.
