Library Media Center

The very best place to start: Your library media center!

The Southern Middle School Library Media Center is open to students for individual checkout each morning before classes during Advisory (8:05). Classes are scheduled regularly for book circulation.

The media center maintains a flexible schedule so that classes and teams can make the most of the materials the media center has to offer. Students are scheduled into the media center for regularly scheduled circulation once every two weeks. The media center maintains the library media center web page to help students safely access information on the World Wide Web and to provide the school a place to promote and publish activities within our learning community. Below are just a few quick links connecting you with news, literature, and museums.
