Elberta Middle School Library

The library is open from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for students to checkout/return books, read, take AR tests, or work on school assignments/projects.

Some of the special programs offered to students throughout the school year include the following:

1.  Emphasis on Reading Program: This is an annual reading program that encourages students in 4th-6th grades to read selected books and participate in a statewide vote to choose an award winning book.

2.  Accelerated Reader: This is a motivational reading program for all grade levels. Students earn points by reading books of their choice, at their reading level, and taking computerized tests. The AR quizzes available for testing at our school can be found under "Forms" above.

3.  Alabama Virtual Library: This is an online database that includes magazines, journals, and newspaper articles. This resource can be accessed from school or home (with an AVL card). AVL cards are issued to all 4th graders, and can be obtained from the library. Direct access to this website can be found under "Links" above.

4.  Atriuum (OPAC): Our library circulation system is currently available countywide. It allows users to search for library materials based on a number of different criteria.

5.  Scholastic Book Fair: Each year, we have at least one book fair, offering students, teachers, and parents an opportunity to purchase books for individual or classroom use.

6.  Online Resources: Check under "Links" above for a variety of useful websites.
