The East Brunswick library media program fosters collaboration between Library Media Specialists, classroom teachers and students with the intention of building a strong foundation for locating, selecting, evaluating and synthesizing information from a wide range of sources.  Media Centers maintain print and digital collections that support the curriculum and promote the enjoyment of literature in all forms.

From their first days at school, students are encouraged to read for pleasure and choose books independently.  They are introduced to technology and research skills via age-appropriate print and digital resources and tasks in collaboration with classroom teachers, based on content-area curricula.  Every school has a media center staffed by Media Specialists offering students and teachers an array of print and digital resources including extensive collections of fiction, non-fiction, and research materials appropriate to the grade levels in the school. 

The media curriculum encompasses reading, research skills, technology education, digital citizenship, coding, and STEM.  Our eleven media centers are connected to an integrated online catalog and circulation system, enabling students and teachers to access their accounts and search library collections from any location with internet access.  Most databases and research tools are accessible remotely as well.

The library media program provides a path for students to become independent thinking members of our community who are actively engaged with information technology in the world around them.
