SEE YOU THEN
Welcome to the
St. James/Seton Media Center Website
Welcome to all of our new and old friends of SJS
School!! My name is Mrs. Nan Forman. I am the
Media Specialist (teacher/librarian) at SJS. Mrs. Cheri
Gimenez, our library assistant, and I are anxious to
welcome you to our Media Center. If you have never
visited us, here is a quick peak at our beautiful facility!

There is a true Children’s reading area -- complete with a
rocking chair, puppets and a small theater, plus many hands-
on story book activities, fluffy pillows, and - of course - great
books to read! The younger grades will try their hands at
puppetry and story telling, which will emphasize memory and
sequence of events skills.
We also have a separate section for young adults as well as
a complete section dedicated to our Accelerated Reader
books.
Accelerated Reader is a reading program where students read books within their reading range level and then take short quizzes to asses their comprehension ability
There are 4 computers available for students to locate
books in our library. We also have a new Media
Computer Lab with 30 new laptop computers for AR
quizzes and classroom research projects. The lab will
help to reinforce the unit on how to use the internet for
research. We have already had many classes visit the
lab for class projects!
At present, we have approximately 28,000 books in
our library (over 17,000 have AR quizzes!) – and our
collection is continuing to grow.
Library classes are held throughout each day. The
students can look forward to a wonderful year of
reading, learning, and growing. Besides reinforcing
library skills, we hope to expand the students’ reading
interests to include different genres.
| Just another day in the Media Center! |
