Purpose:
Enota’s
media center provides a range of learning opportunities for both
large and small groups and for individuals.
The focus is on improving the learning process, with emphasis
on intellectual content, inquiry, and the learner. Learners
are encouraged to read, view, listen, construct, and create
in order to learn in their own way. The center program is a
cooperative venture in which the media specialist, teachers,
and administrators work together to provide opportunities for
the social, cultural, and educational growth of all students. |
Programs:
- Enota’s
media center partners with the Hall County Library to encourage
summer reading. All students who participate enjoy a recognition
party upon return to school in the fall.
- Birthday
Club: parents may remember their child’s birthday
with the purchase of a book for the media center. Permanent
bookplates are placed inside each book with the name and
