North Merrick School Library Media Centers
-
The district's Library Media program provides students with the space where curiosity is piqued, questions are posed and answered, topics are investigated, research skills are developed, literature is read and appreciated, literary tastes are developed, and independent learning and critical thinking is promoted. The school libraries offer print and non-print resources in varied formats. Students gain exposure to a full range of genres, including poetry, folktales, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, and realistic fiction, as well as non-fiction titles that address a full spectrum of interests on topics from all major subject areas. Each library functions as the information center of the school.
