GMS Media Center

The Grenada Middle School library is a hub of student activity. Classes visit the library on a regular schedule, and students are encouraged to come in during available times throughout the day. The librarian, along with a cache of student library workers, assist the students in finding books appropriate to their interests and reading levels.

The ever-growing collection of books includes both fiction and non-fiction titles labeled for AR reading levels, a large collection of graphic novels, as well as classroom sets of novels for teachers’ use in the classroom. The library also hosts extra computers for students to check out when the need arises. Students and teachers are able to utilize the Destiny Discover library catalog system to browse the library virtually where they may place books on hold or check out and read one of our many ebooks.

The library also hosts a variety of fun activities that encourage a love of reading and make the library an exciting place to visit, including a book fair each fall, and Reader’s Pass Rewards on Fridays where teachers can nominate students to come in during non-academic times to play games, read, or just hang out with friends. Additionally, a school-wide reading initiative encourages students to read through engaging competitions with both individual and grade-level rewards.

Library Mission:

The goal of the GMS library is to instill a love of reading while also supporting the curriculum in order to foster learning through reading. We provide a welcoming and inclusive environment to encourage students to read for inquiry and information in order to equip students with the skills needed to be successful life-long learners.
