About The Librarian/Media Specialist

Mrs. Creech has been the librarian at C. E. Byrd for the past ten 
years.  She believes that a good library is the center of a good school and 
knows that this is what St. Joseph School is looking for.

Not all books are on the automated catalog yet, but with the help of Mrs. 
Falls and Mrs. Seneca, we are adding 25-50 new books a day! 

Library policies will now allow children to check out as many books as they 
need, including reference books.  (Of course, we will take library fines.)
Only videos will be off limits.

The library is open before and after school for both students and parents.

Objectives of the Library

     Our library media program endeavors to ensure that students and staff 
are effective users of ideas and information.  We strive to accomplish this 
mission by:  providing intellectual and physical access to information and 
ideas for a diverse population whose needs are changing rapidly; providing 
learning experiences that encourage users to become discriminating consumers 
and skilled creators of information; providing resources and activities that 
contribute to lifelong learning; promoting literacy and the enjoyment of 
reading, viewing, and listening for young people at all ages and stages of 
development; providing a facility that functions as the information center 
of 
the school.
