    The J.E. Brown Library Media Program is designed to support the school's instructional program and promote student achievement. The media specialist collaborates with teachers in planning and implementing lessons that incorporate information literacy skills. The media specialist also assists teachers and students with integrating and utilizing technology when teaching, researching, and communicating information. 

    The library media program offers flexible and equitable access to a wealth of information and resources for teaching and learning, teachers' professional needs, as well as the recreational and research needs of students. The collection consists of materials that are diverse and unbiased. The library media program supports the goals of the Georgia Standards of Excellance via the implementation of the Accelerated Reader program.
