The mission of the Harlem Middle School Media Center is to build a patroncentered library which fosters a caring environment in which students,
faculty and community can successfully seek information and ideas for their
educational, informational, and recreational needs.
Philosophy:
The Harlem Middle School Library Media Center is the largest classroom in
the school, where teaching and learning are the principal goals. The HMS
Library Media Center supports teaching, learning, and research in an
academically and open environment. Our goal is to create life-long learners
by integrating information literacy into the curriculum and encouraging a
love of reading. The Library Media Center promotes efforts to ensure that
every patron has knowledgeable access to information in all formats. The
Harlem Middle School Media Center supports the schools mission statement
of empowering and inspiring all students to apply the knowledge, skills, and
attitudes necessary to become creative problem solvers, to achieve personal
success, and to contribute responsibly to our diverse and dynamic world.

Circulation Policy
Harlem Middle Schools circulation policy applies to all students in
grades six through eight. All books are inventoried in the Follett Destiny
system. Currently, students are allowed to check out fiction and nonfiction
text only. Students are allowed to have two books checked out at one time
and are held for two weeks at a time. Students visit the media center for
book check out on a two week rotation, but are encouraged to visit in
between those times if they finish their book(s) before then. If a student
wants to renew a book, they may do so up to three times on a specific book.
This allows the book to be available for other students if it is being
requested. Students are able to request a book by placing it on hold. To
do this, students log in to the Destiny Quest system using their lunch
number, and place the desired book on hold under their profile. This will
ensure that once the book is returned, it will be marked for check out for that
specific student. A fine of five cents per day is charged for overdue books
and a three day grace period is given before fines begin to occur. When
books are lost or damaged, an appropriate fee will be charged. Generally,
this fee reflects the current price of the book or the replacement cost of
another book. The SLMS and Media Clerk work well with students who may
owe a fee for overdue or lost books. As a general rule, if students owe a very
small fee, they will still be allowed to checkout new books. If a book has
been lost, students are not allowed to check out books until that fine has
been paid.
Reference books, magazines, and iPads are available for student use
while in the media center, but are only available for check out by teachers.
Current policy states that students are not allowed to checkout reference
material or magazines because of the cost of those materials and the
constant request by classroom teachers conducting research and inquirybased projects. Teachers may also checkout materials that are available in
the media center such as iPads, document cameras, presenters, DVDs,
professional learning material, and classroom sets of novels. The check out
policy for teachers is for the entire school year unless another teacher is
requesting a particular item. Fees are not assigned to teachers for late
materials, but if an item is lost or damaged it is up to the principal to assess
a fee.
Parents and community members are allowed access to the school's
media center. While there is no written policy in place for checking out
material, parents and community members are allowed to read books
(fiction, nonfiction, and reference) while visiting the media center. Parents
and community members are not allowed to use the other technology
resources such as iPads, document cameras, presenters, etc.
The HMS media center also lends books, such as class sets of a
particular novel, to other schools in the area. A spreadsheet is kept that
allows the SLMS to know what school the materials are going to and the
contact information for the receiving SLMS. Once books are returned they
are highlighted or deleted from the spreadsheet.
To improve the media centers circulation policy, the SLMS and the
library media committee will discuss issues and concerns regarding
parent/community check-out systems, purchasing e-readers, and increasing
the number of reference materials. This last improvement will also benefit
the students, as they would then be allowed to checkout reference materials
rather than only using them while in the media center. The purchase of ereaders or e-books will allow the HMS Media Center to stay current with 21st
century learning skills.
Scheduling
The HMS Media Center is open daily from 7:05 A.M. until 2:35 P.M.
Because English Language Arts classes are more closely tied to the media
center, students visit the media center during this period once every two
weeks. Grade level teachers will alternate weeks to allow classes to use the
entire period in the media center if they wish. At the beginning of the school
year, during vertical team meetings, ELA teachers decide on the day of the
week they want to schedule their visits. The media center is booked on
Mondays (7th grade), Wednesdays (6th grade), and Fridays (8th grade). On
Tuesdays and Thursdays the media center is open to all other grades and/or
subject areas as first come, first served. Even though the HMS Media Center
is booked for the ELA classes on the designated days, other students (small
groups or individuals) are allowed to utilize the media center for book
returns, check-out, or to use the computers for various reasons. The SLMS
shares the media center calendar (See Appendix A) with all teachers so they
are able to see availability options. Teachers can send a request via email
for a reservation to be added to the calendar. Only the SLMS is able to add
reservations to the calendar due to reservations being deleted or changed by
other individuals. If a verbal request is made to the SLMS or clerk, the
teacher must also submit an email or written request to be kept in a file for
reference and documentation for the SLMS observations (TKES). Students
may visit the media center individually or in small groups, but must have a
pass from their teacher. There is no policy that requires students to sign-in
or out when visiting the media center. Generally, the SLMS and/or the Media
Clerk is always available for supervising or assisting students who visit the
media center.
Services
Students who are served for speech therapy meet with the speech
therapist on Tuesday and Friday mornings, from 7:35-8:15 in one of the
conference rooms in the media center. Reading remediation classes are also
held in the media center every day each week during Achievement Period:
AP is from 7:35-8:15. The reading class is designed to improve reading
fluency and comprehension and more importantly to increase student
confidence. The SLMS serves the sixth grade reading classes. STEM
research is available on Fridays during AP time for seventh and eighth grade
are scheduled for middle and high school gifted certification classes for
Columbia County teachers.
The HMS Media Center provides a plethora of services to the students
and faculty at the school. One group of stakeholders that would greatly
benefit from services provided by the media center are the parents. The
media center would like to implement a program that would allow parents
and/or guardians to have one on one training with the SLMS. Areas of
training would include Microsoft Office(Word, Excel, Publisher), Office 365,
Parent Portal, and various Web 2.0 tools.

At this time, one conference room is reserved for use by the Special
Education Paraprofessional as an office and meeting space. The other
conference room is in transition to becoming a makerspace for student use.
This area will be designed for students to work and prepare projects in
accordance with the schools STEM Program. The temperature in the Media
Center is just right although the Media Center staff have the ability to adjust
the temperature at any time to make it more comfortable if needed. Lighting
in the Media Center is a combination of both natural and electrical lighting.
Currently, the only area for concern is the noise distraction from the adjacent
sixth grade hallway. The disturbance is not constant; however, it can hinder
concentration or focus if it is needed to conduct a particular task.
As students access the Harlem Middle School Media Centers page they
will see a tab for Media Resources. Some of the resources available to them
are Destiny Quest, the online catalog, Smithsonian Tween Tribune, Galileo,
World Book Online, Whats Next, a site that lists books in a series, and a site
that gives book recommendations based off of a book that the student has
read and liked. The Columbia County Board of Education uses iboss as the
filtering software. This web security is designed to enable K-12 learning, not
block it. Filtering software plays a huge role in what students are able to
access, iboss filters classifies sites based on its content focus (i.e., dating,
news, entertainment, pornography). The iboss website provides the
following description of the softwares purpose and abilities.
Todays K-12 schools face opportunities and challenges that were never imagined by previous
generations. The Internet has opened a new world of learning resources, while the growth of mobile
technology has put these resources into the hands of students and teachers both in and out of the
classroom. Added to these challenges are increased targeting of schools by criminal hackers bent on
accessing student data. K-12 Schools face increasing security challenges:
Maintaining CIPA, HIPAA and other regulatory compliance, while ensuring network availability
and access to learning tools
Protecting increasing amounts of private student data kept on school networks from
advanced threats
Securing mobile users and BYOD easily, whether on or off school grounds
There are many times when a site that should not be blocked, is blocked.
Thankfully, with iboss, the Columbia County IT Department has the ability to
customize sites according to its content.

The layout of the media center works really well for teachers and
students. All materials are easily accessible and the open view of the library is
conducive to the learning of all students. The library media center
environment and educational climate is remarkable. Student artwork and class
projects are displayed throughout the library making the environment more
student centered. There are two quiet areas (closed door conference rooms)
for small group or individual instruction and a larger area for whole class
instruction. Considering the age of the building, the library is very inviting to
all faculty, staff, and students. There is adequate space for individuals, small
groups, and whole classes, as long as it is one class at a time. Usually, if
more than one class is in the media center together it is very congested and
space is limited.
improvement is to update or improve the door leading from the Media Center
to an outdoor Courtyard to include an outside reading area.

Media Materials
The Georgia Department of Education (GA DOE) defines media materials as those
instructional materials including print, non-print, periodicals, online databases,
supplies, and equipment that are critical to the support and enhancement of the
school library media center program. These materials are housed in and circulated
through the library media center for use by the entire learning community of the
school.

includes all of the following but are not limited to monitors, desktop computers,
The funding for the Harlem Middle School media center is satisfactory but it could
be more adequate in order to increase the amount of funds available to upgrade the
furniture in the media center. There is not enough money in the media center
budget to purchase all items that are wanted. An increase in the budget by $4000
would present the opportunity to purchase material to make bean bags plus buy
tables, lounge chairs, etc.
According to the Our Funding History and its Impact on Georgias Media Centers
page, the amount allotted has fluctuated significantly over the years.
Additional funding sources are the Scholastic Book Fair Fundraiser ($685), Local
Supplements ($800), and the QBE funds that are allocated by the Principal.
The Harlem Middle School media center is looking into adding more resources to its
program. Some of the improvements to the media center are adding eBooks,
Mediascape and updated furniture.
eBooks
The media specialist is interested in purchasing eBooks because of having the
ability to access embedded content within the text of the book. eBooks have the
ability to be instant and accessed remotely, the ability of simultaneous multi-use of
the eBook, and the capability to differentiate learning.
Mediascape
Purchasing the Mediascape system allows users to collaborate by plugging in user
devices and sharing the screen from the multiple devices with great ease. This
addition will provide an additional collaborative space for students and teachers.
Updated Furniture
Furniture in the classroom environment should be easily reconfigured and used to fit
the curriculum/program. The furniture that students use should be easily adjustable,
comfortable and support the students physical environment when using technology.
Since the fast rate of technological change is impacting education and making
technology forever redundant (ask any smartphone user), furniture should adapt to
the way students use technology, and do so discreetly (no cords and cables
around). This is not an easy task. There are many chairs and tables that work for the
present and reflect the manufacturers designing for todays technology.

Goal 1:
By the end of year three, the Media Specialist will improve the physical space
of the media center to allow easier accessibility for handicapped and special
needs students, encourage collaboration, and create quiet spaces for silent
reading.
Objective 1a:
Year one: The SLMS will begin weeding nonfiction and fiction sections
following the CCBOE Collections Policy on pg.30 of the Media Handbook.
SLMS will run circulation and history reports from the Destiny system on all
nonfiction and fiction books in the library. Books that have not circulated
(checked-out) in five years will be discarded. The weeding will allow several
bookcases to be removed and/or repurposed.
Evaluation 1a:
The SLMS will also keep a record of the items that were weeded for a
minimum of five years. If students or teachers would like a discarded item
the SLMS will search the county data base and borrow the desired text from
another Media Center within the county.
Objective 1b:
Year two: The SLMS will re-arrange, re-purpose, and/or discard bookcases to
create new spaces for students. The current setup of the bookcases take up
the majority of the space in the library, and the length of the bookcases
Evaluation 1b:
After the removal and the repurposing, the SLMS will be able to reevaluate
the space, usage and accessibly of the Media Center to meet the needs of all
students.
Objective 1c:
By the end of year three: The SLMS will create the new areas that will be
added to the media center. These spaces will include multiple silent reading
areas and collaboration areas for small and large groups as well as whole
class instruction. SLMS will investigate options for updated furniture to
include comfortable seating, tables, and chairs. The SLMS will determine the
most appropriate furniture to purchase while keeping in mind the needs of
our special education students, and the movability of the furniture. This will
also aid in promoting a collaborative space for teachers and students by
creating a more flexible environment. New furniture will be purchased to
increase collaboration efforts as well as accommodate wheelchair bound
students. The SLMS will then develop a budget for the new items to present
to the school principal for approval.
Evaluation 1c:
Within one to two months after the additions are added, the SLMS will
evaluate the newly created areas and monitor their effectiveness in their
collaborative purpose. The SLMS will also survey teachers and students to
gain feedback about the new learning areas and obtain feedback on how the
new area promotes collaboration. The SLMS will also ask for improvement
ideas of suggestions that users would like to see implemented.
Goal 1 Timeline:
Beginning at the start of year one, the SLMS will run circulation and
history reports from the Destiny system on all nonfiction and fiction books in
the library. Books that have not circulated (checked-out) in five years will be
discarded. Complete weeding of books should be done within 4 months of
beginning the weeding process. The SLMS will retain a copy of all weeded
books for at least five years.
Beginning at the start of year two, the SLMS will evaluate the current
setup of the bookcases and the Media Center. The SLMS will also consider
that the length of the bookcases make it difficult for students in wheelchairs
to navigate around them. The media specialist will solicit input from other
members of the staff and make a decision on how to rearrange the
bookcases for to ensure better accessibility for all students. The bottom shelf
on every bookcase is also not being utilized for shelving books. Some
bookcases will be repurposed for student centers, while others will be
available to teachers for classroom use. Bookcases will be moved and
repurposed once the weeding of books is complete. Rearrangement should
take approximately one semester to one school year, this will also allow time
for re-shelving.
Beginning at the start of year two, the SLMS will investigate options for
updated furniture to include comfortable seating, tables, and chairs. The
SLMS will determine the most appropriate furniture to purchase while
keeping in mind the needs of our special education students, and the
movability of the furniture. The SLMS will then develop a budget for the new
items to present to the school principal for approval. The estimated time for
developing the list of new materials to include specific items with three price
quotes from different vendors should take 2-3 weeks. The purchase, delivery,
and installation of the new furniture should be completed by the middle of
the year three. The SLMS will use the remaining semester to reflect on
changes as well as survey teachers and students on the changes to the
Media Center.
Goal 2:
By the end of year two, the Media Specialist will provide learning
opportunities for students by providing support for teachers in application of
the guidelines set forth in the AASL Standards for 21st Century Learners. The
Media Specialist will work to provide this opportunity with at least ten
teachers.
Objective 2a:
Within the first two months of the school year, the SLMS will survey the
proficiency levels of the teachers and determine the various proficiency
groups to better support the implementation of the AASL Standards..
Evaluation 2a:
Within a week of receiving the data from the survey, the SLMS will evaluate
the various levels of proficiency and create groups in which the SLMS will be
able to better support the teachers based on their specific needs.
Objective 2b:
The SLMS will provide flexible professional learning opportunities and support
for teachers who need assistance in implementing the AASL Standards.
Evaluation 2b:
After the professional learning, the SLMS will allow teachers to provide
feedback and prepare for collaborative planning and implementation of the
AASL Standards.
Objective 2c:
The SLMS will provide authentic learning opportunities for students to learn
and engage with content and the resources of the Media Center. The learning
opportunities will serve as a model that teachers can use to implement the
AASL Standards within their lessons.
Evaluation 2c:
After the collaboration, the SLMS will retain lesson plans and resources from
the authentic learning opportunity and ask the collaborating teacher to
reflect on the lesson based on the professional learning and the
implementation of the AASL Standards in a follow-up personalized e-mail.
Goal 2 Timeline:
Beginning at the start of year two, the Media Specialist will begin
surveying the teachers on their understanding of the AASL Standards for
21st Century Learners. Within a week of the completion of the survey, the
SLMS will begin categorizing teachers based on their proficiency levels of
understanding of the AASL Standards. Within the next two months the SLMS
will provide flexible learning opportunities for teachers who need assistance
in implementing the AASL Standards within their classroom. The SLMS will
also create authentic learning opportunities for students within the Media
Center where teachers may come and see effective implementation of the
standards in action. The SLMS will provide this opportunity for at least ten
teachers by the end of year two.
Goal 3:
By the end of year four, the Media Specialist will develop a Professional
Learning Resource Center that consists of both physical and virtual
resources, for teachers that will enhance student learning. The resource
center will provide a minimum of at least five resources per grade level per
subject.
Objective 3a:
The SLMS will create a Professional Learning Resource Center survey for
teachers. This survey will determine tools, resources, trainings, and materials
that have been requested by teachers for general and specific needs. The
SLMS will also attend vertical and departmental meetings to establish a focus
for purchasing new Professional Learning material for core content areas.
Evaluation 3a:
After the conclusion of the survey, the SLMS will begin analyzing the results
of the survey to organize the professional resources that is needed by the
staff. The SLMS will also provide a calendar of scheduled learning workshops
for teachers to attend at their convenience and research having a
professional trainer come to the school to aid in the training of the staff.
Objective 3b:
Virtual Space: The SLMS will create and maintain a user friendly Professional
Learning Resource Center that will host a curated variety of resources;
tutorials, lessons, Web 2.0 tools, databases, etc. This virtual resource center
will be linked to the Media Centers webpage under the Teacher Resources
tab for ease of access.
Evaluation 3b:
The SLMS will continually maintain the Virtual Professional Learning Resource
Center. The SLMS will also provide the opportunity for teachers to continually
provide feedback and suggestion on new resources that they would like
added or that they have found and want to share with others.
Objective 3c:
After each training, the SLMS will ask the teachers to evaluate their
understanding of the topic based on the training they received. They will also
indicate how the SLMS can further assist them in collaborating or assisting in
the implementation of their new ideas and understandings.
Evaluation 3c:
Goal 3 Timeline:
Goal 4:
By the end of year five the Media Specialist will create opportunities to
collaborate and co-teach problem based lessons/inquires and/or units with at
least three teachers. The lessons will also include teaching students how to
evaluate accessed information from various resources, including both print
and virtual formats depending on the need of the student.
Objective 4a:
The SLMS will create a survey in which the teachers will complete to show
the interest they have to collaborate and co-teach with the SLMS.
Evaluation 4a:
Within in one to two weeks after receiving the results of the survey the SLMS
will begin designating the available time to collaborate that will
accommodate all teachers who expressed an interest.
Objective 4b:
Based on the results of the survey (4a.), SLMS will determine the focus of
collaboration and co-teaching with teacher. Teachers that are interested in
collaborating with the SLMS will provide a needs assessment to the SLMS.
What areas are students struggling with? How can the SLMS provide
assistance to the teachers in a collaborative lesson?
Evaluation 4b:
Within one to two weeks after receiving the needs assessment the SLMS will
begin organizing and planning how to strategically plan for the
implementation of collaboration and prepare ideas and activities based on
the needs provided.
Objective 4c:
Evaluation 4c:
Within one week after the collaboration and the lesson has been taught, the
SLMS will communicate with the teacher to reflect on the success of the
collaborative lesson. The SLMS will note the improvement and the ideas to
enhance the lesson. The SLMS will also archive the lesson plans for future
use and implementation. The SLMS will also seek input for students on the
learning process.
Goal 4 Timeline:
The media specialist will create a survey in which the teachers will
complete to show the interest they have to collaborate and co-teach with the
SLMS. The survey will be administered over a two week period at the
beginning of the school year.
Teachers that are interested in collaborating with the SLMS will provide
a needs assessment to the SLMS. What areas are students struggling with?
How can the SLMS provide assistance to the teachers in a collaborative
lesson? The needs assessment will be turned in by each participating
teacher over the next two week period after completing the initial survey.
Once received, SLMS will review the information within one week and provide
the teachers with the suggested focus of collaboration and co-teaching by
the end of the following week.
Using Outlook or Google calendar, teachers and the SLMS will
schedule collaborative lesson planning times. When face-to-face meetings
are not possible, SLMS and teachers will communicate via email and through
a shared unit plan template in Google Docs and/or Office 365. At the first
face-to-face meeting held one week after the needs assessment is received,
teachers and SLMS will create a planning template to be used as the guide
for collaborative teaching. Collaborative lesson planning will be set to
quarterly face-to-face meetings in order to revisit the plan and determine if
there are any necessary changes that need to be made. In between,
everyone can communicate via e-mail. This will be the process until the end
of the school year. By the end of year five the SLMS plans to collaborate with
at least ten teachers using this process.
