The Morrilton Elementary Media Center has approximately 9,000 volumes available for patrons.  In addition, other media such as teaching kits, read along books on cassettes, filmstrips, transparencies, audio cassettes, compact discs, and VHS/DVD videos are available for classroom use.  New technology in the media center (including smart board and AV Visual Presenter/Document Camera) provides ample opportunities for many new and exciting projects.

Students free flow into the media center all day long.  Classes are scheduled daily for teaching library skills and literature using different mediums. The media center is available for teachers to bring their class for teachable moments, as well as for a special project.  Small groups can come at anytime also.

A daily newscast is made and recorded each day showing the lunch menu, weather, word of the week by the counselor, birthday pictures of students, this date in history, video of a class leading the pledge, special feature of the week and any special events, etc. This newscast is played to all rooms through our in-house system.

The Media Center is equipped with 8 computers, five for patron use.  These five computers serve as card catalogs for the media center's collection.  All computers have CD-roms and each are internet accessible.
