North Hall High School Media Center is a large and well-stocked collection

of books, magazines, videos, computer resources, computers and additional materials. 

Students are encouraged to use the facility before class in the morning, after school and,

of course, at times assigned by class teachers.  The media center is open from 7:30 AM

to 4 PM daily.

We provide a learning environment that is conducive for the students to

become effective users of information, knowledge and the enjoyment of

reading.  Empowering students with the abilities and experiences that will

enable them to be competent users of these skills is our primary goal.  The media specialist

provides instruction in the use of resources to support school assignments, reading, school

programs, individual interests and hobbies.

The media center has computers where students can access electronic

encyclopedias and other database sources including Quesia, GALE's Discovering Collections

and the World and I .  Access to the Internet and GALILEO, the University of Georgia's

on-line virtual library is available.  GALILEO provides access to multiple information

resources including 100 databases indexing hundreds of periodicals and scholarly journals,

encyclopedias, business directories, and government publications.  Additional electronic

resources and software include Microsoft Office products and Inspiration available for student use.

In addition the media center maintains the Accelerated Reader program for students. After a student reads a book, this program is used to evaluate the student's reading comprehension by giving a 10-20 question test. 

The media center provides the home to the College and Career Corner. 

Materials are avaiable to students on college and technical schools. In

collaboration, the media center provides a collection of career-oriented

books and an online database of career information called GCIS, Georgia

Career and Information System for students.

Anytime you are in the Media Center, Mrs. Hammond or Mrs. Baker will be glad

to assist you with your needs and questions.
