Library Media Center
WELCOME!
Ebb Valley Elementary Media Center
The Ebb Valley Media Center offers many resources to the students, staff, and parents. If you have not yet had the chance to visit, please stop by. We love visitors!
Besides books, students are also able to check out Kits which include CD's to listen to while reading along. Students in Grades 3, 4, or 5 may also check out "Play-aways" which are books on a small tape player with headphones. Although headphones are included, you may want to use your own headphones from an I-pod or other source. Please encourage your children to be careful with the Kits and Play-aways as they are expensive and can be anywhere from $30.00 to $60.00 to replace if they are lost or broken.
Looking for Resources?
There are several resources available to students from home to help with homework or research. Please be sure to use these resources as the School District pays for you to be able to access them. If you don't remember the User Name and Password, please feel free to call (410-386-1550) or e-mail (hmander@k12.carr.org) Mrs. Anderson for the information.
