Print Materials

The media center also subscribes to several periodicals for both teachers and students which may be enjoyed in the media center. (Periodicals are not for checkout by students).

Research and Reference

The media center has traditional print reference materials including encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases, and almanacs. We also offer Britannica Online for all students and teachers.  This may be accessed from your own home computer.  The link to this site is available on the "online resources" page.  Ten computers are available for student use for Accelerated Reader, Internet research, and access to digital and online reference materials.  Mrs. Johnson, RRES library media specialist, conducts lessons in appropriate and correct use of the research and reference materials throughout the year during class periods in the library.

Technology Services

Teachers can check out laptops, digital cameras, camcorders, iPods, CD/Cassette players, Flip cameras, listening center headphones, and other classroom technology resources. Through the generosity of Nelson Cable and Direct TV Goes to School, the library media center offers a variety of cable television programming services. Mrs. Johnson is available to assist the teachers in technology repair and troubleshooting, and technology instruction. Students are instructed in the use of technology throughout the school year.
