MAMS Library
Welcome to the MAMS Library!
Our school library aims to foster critical thinking, collaboration, communication & creativity.
We are here for you! If you need help with research, finding a good book to read, solving a technology crisis or simply need a place to work, visit the library. You will be amazed at how much the library has to offer!!!
Mission of the Library Program
Empower Curious Minds
Promote literacy and love of reading
Help students use technology safely, ethically, and efficiently
Support students have difficulty with their technology (troubleshooting & repairs)
Offer students a friendly place where they can feel welcome and valued
Circulation Policies
Students may check out up to 3 items at a time and keep them for two weeks. If you haven't finished a book when it is due, bring it in, and we can renew it for you.
We do not have late fees. The worst we'll do for overdues is pester you with weekly email reminders. If you lose a book, though, or damage it beyond repair, you will need to pay for its replacement.
A few of the ways our library program increases student learning:
Providing books for pleasure reading and to support the school's curriculum
Recommending books students might enjoy
Collaborating with middle school ELA staff to support and enhance the reading programs
Assisting with research projects
Coordinating the 1-to-1 Chromebook program at the school
Helping students and staff with technology problems or questions
Providing a welcoming space conducive to reading or studying
About Mrs. Schumacher
I am passionate about reading and writing! After teaching middle school language arts for 23 years, I decided to put my minor to better use and am now in my 8th year as the Library Media Specialist.
