Media Center Mission
The Media Center is the "hub" of the school. Not only do our students check out appealing books, they are provided the opportunity to become successful library users whether here at Douglass or at the many public libraries. Also a large part of their experience will be technology, technology, technology!
Please take time to talk to your child(ren) and find out all about the wonderful and thrilling things that are taking place in the Media Center and Douglass classrooms. You are one of your best child's teachers!!
