Library Media Center

The mission of the Library Media Program is to empower all students with 21st century Center skills to be effective users, producers, and communicators of ideas and information.

The Tisbury School Library:

  • fosters information literacy
  • provides resources for all curriculum areas
  • integrates research instruction into classroom assignments
  • exposes students to a variety of literary genres
  • strives to establish a life-long love of reading in students

    Students, whose books are a month overdue, may be placed on the ineligibility list.

    Parents are invited to volunteer in the Library Media Center, regularly or for our annual book fair. If interested, contact Whitney Burke at wburke@mvyps.org or 696-6527.

    Operating Hours

    8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday)

    Lost/Overdue Books

    Lost books must be paid for. Failure to fulfill such responsibility may lead to the withholding of a final report card, transfer of student records and/or use of the library at the discretion of the principal. Books that are a month overdue, may result in detention and/or the ineligibility list.

    Technology

    The Tisbury School is supported by a Microsoft network and uses both Apple and Windows machines in the classrooms, library and computer labs. We require that parents and students sign an acceptable use policy for Internet access. In addition we monitor the use of electronic materials and actively teach a technology curriculum, which includes video and computer skills. If you have a specific question regarding the use of technology in the school, please call Sue Leonard at 696-6561.

    Multimedia and /Technology Use Guidelines

  • All students must have parental permission for use of the Internet in school. A copy of our Acceptable Use Policy appears in the separate policy handbook.

  • Deliberate unauthorized use of software or systems tools by students will result in the loss of computer privileges throughout the school.

  • Unnecessary printing is discouraged. We encourage all students to take notes from these reference sources and use them as research sources for projects.

  • Students and staff are expected to be knowledgeable of and abide by current copyright laws.
