The Intermediate Library Media Center (LMC) is a hub of activity dedicated to supporting the curriculum and enriching the learning experiences of all students. The Fredonia Intermediate LMC serves students in grades K through 8. The library media specialist collaborates with teachers to provide the necessary materials and assistance for subject area assignments, provides resources for educational and recreational reading and research, and offers opportunities for students to use district-wide technology and electronic resources.
The LMC is open from 7:20 am through 3:00 pm every day, with a shared library media specialist and library teaching assistants available to supervise and assist students. Elementary School students visit the LMC once each week for a regularly scheduled library media skills class and book exchange. Elementary School students may visit the LMC to meet their personal reading or informational needs at other times with permission from their classroom teacher. Middle School students continue to receive library media skills instruction through lessons planned jointly by a subject area teacher and the library media specialist and in direct support of the curriculum. Middle School students may visit the Intermediate LMC or High School LMC from study halls or subject area classes. During these visits students are expected to be involved in activities that will advance their educational experiences. Appropriate usage would include the completion of subject area assignments, reading, or the pursuit of further educational or personal informational needs. All students may use the available computers for book searches, research, word processing or other appropriate online activities while visiting the LMC. When using any technology, students must always adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy agreed to and signed by the parent and student at the beginning of the school year.
The library media specialist maintains the Intermediate Library Media Center TeacherWeb Page from which students and teachers may access the electronic book catalogs (OPACs), the online databases purchased by the district, and web sites selected to support classroom projects or enhance student learning. The Intermediate Library Media Center TeacherWeb Page is linked from the Fredonia District Home Page under both the Elementary School and Middle School tabs. Visitors to the web site may occasionally encounter password protected pages. These pages allow the library media specialist to post usernames and passwords to individual subscription databases offered by the district, thus supporting fair use practices. Password and contact information is listed above. Please contact the library media specialist should you encounter any difficulties using the web site.
In order for the LMC to fulfill its purpose, students must help create an environment conducive to productivity. The LMC is a place to do research, reading, studying, homework and quiet reflection. For this to be accomplished, students need to behave in a manner that allows all patrons to be safe, productive and comfortable in the space.
