Library Media Center Page
The Library Media Center (LMC) is an integral part of the life of the Carlisle student. It provides opportunities for students and staff to read for information and recreation as well as practice the library skills they will need in the real word. The goal of the LMC is to provide opportunities that will enable each student to become an effective user of information with a lifelong love of reading.

The staff of the LMC consists of Mrs. Duke, Library Media Specialist; and Mrs. Hancher, library assistant, and Mrs. Kraatz, Campus Technogy Assistant. The library facilities are available for the Carlisle community from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM daily.

Parent volunteers and STOP students are a valuable asset to the LMC. This commitment makes it possible for the library to function efficiently and effectively in service to the students. Carlisle LMC has an inventory of over 12,000 books, eight computer research stations that include the PISD Internet link, and thirty-five periodical subscriptions for students and professional staff.

The LMC has a flexible schedule that permits students to visit the Library Media Center for research and to check out materials as often as they wish. Every student has the opportunity to visit the library daily to return, renew, and checkout books without waiting for his/her class period. Classes are held weekly for every grade level. Students are introduced to award winning books in all genres. Author studies are included as an integral part of literature appreciation. Lessons focus on literacy skills, research skills, and library skills. Read-aloud activities are included at every grade level.
