Welcome to the Walnut Elementary Media Center Web site. We are very proud of our library and hope you will have the opportunity to visit in person. If not, you can follow our progress here on the web. Stop in often to see what's new.
Our annual Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for November 30-December 11, with family events planned for the evenings of December 2 and December 8 during parent/teacher conferences. This years theme is Destination Book Fair Read Around the World! Come and join us for some great adventures!
Our elementary media centers subscribe to the informational web sites listed below. Students can access these web sites from school and home. Please contact me for user names and passwords.
One of the biggest changes our library has made has been the change in our library system to Destiny, a new web-based program. It will allow you for the first time to be able to access our school library catalog from home. The link for Destiny is at the top of this page. Once there, you also have the option of clicking on links to the above resources as well as other educational sites, including the local public libraries. Students with Pickaway County library cards can link to many valuable resources to help with homework.
In June, the elementary schools will be hosting award winning illustrators Christopher and Jeanette Canyon. Christopher has visited the Teays Valley district several times in the past and is a great favorite. This will be Jeanettes first time to visit the elementaries, and we are very excited. Please visit their website at: http://www.JeanetteAndChristopherCanyon.com.
I'm looking forward to another great school year!
