Clarksburg Elementary School library, which serves a student population of approximately 120, is staffed by a full-time certified Library Media Specialist. A combination of fixed scheduling and flexible scheduling is used.
The library is networked with full Internet access via a T1 line. Over 20 computers, both Windows and Macintosh, are available for individual or full-class use. All of the networked computers have access to EBSCOhost, a full-text database of 1,000 magazines, several online encyclopedias, and other reference materials as part of our MOREnet consortium membership as well as other Internet resources.
The library is fully automated with Alexandria cataloging and circulation system. Accelerated Reader reading motivation program is used school-wide, and testing and student reading records may be accessed from the library or any computer throughout the building.
The library was moved and remodeled in August 1996 with new carpeting and air conditioning. It houses over 6,000 books, 300 videotapes, and a selection of other media. The library subscribes to 20 magazines, 10 professional periodicals, a daily newspaper, and 2 weekly newspapers.
