Welcome to the Media Committee

Welcome to new Media Committee Members and of course a warm welcome to the returning Media Committee Members.

The WOES library added many new books and materials. With generous funding from GCPS Media Services and from our principal, Mrs. Loethen Payne, hundreds of books were added to our collection. In the coming year we are adding 1,400 more books to our Everybody Section of picture books and fiction books. The first order for 361 books is placed and we are awaiting delivery. Books come in shelf ready and will be in the hands of students quickly.

As a member of the Media Committee, your input into the media center program is vital to our work here at WOES and is important when we are planning activities and purchasing materials that best serve our WOES students and families. When you receive an email about materials purchases, please review the information and reply back with your approval or with your comments and suggestions.

We will have one face to face meeting after school starts and will follow up with emails as book order lists and materials are purchased for the library media center. The date will be announced soon.

Again, it is with great thanks and appreciation that I greet you. I look forward to working with you this 2017-2018 school year.

Library Media Specialist
