Welcome to the Scotland Elementary School Library/Media Center!

I am Mrs. Lowney, the School Library Media Specialist. My goal is to encourage students to think, explore, and learn. The school library program serves to instill a love of reading, inspire life-long learning, and foster independent library use. Students visit once a week with their class to check out materials and to practice information literacy skills and digital citizenship. We also integrate technology with our research to create exciting projects that are closely aligned with the curriculum.Students are being provided with opportunities to develop skills to prepare them for the 21st century.

Parents may wish to explore useful articles and links for digital responsibility, safety and digital citizenship. They can be found at CommonSense Media.

We use Library World Catalog for the circulation of our library materials. Students learn to search for books using this catalog which can be accessed here to browse through our collection.\

Some of the programs we use are www.pebblego.com for research for younger grades.

Wixie.com is for Pre-k- Grade 2. This is a publishing creativity  program used to supplement the units in those grades. Younger students can share their work as a book, video, URL or PDF.

Voicethread.com and Animoto are used as presentation tools for any grade.

We also use the  Google Suite of tools  with many students..
