Media Center Mission

The mission of the Tarpon Springs Middle School library is to: encourage independent reading to create lifelong readers; foster creative thinking through collaborative instruction; guide both students and staff to become skillful researchers and ethical users of information; prepare students to be productive citizens; and provide equitable access to all forms of information.

Our Philosophy

The Media Center at Tarpon Springs Middle School is designed to meet the needs of both students and faculty by providing a wide variety of materials to supplement the curriculum. These materials are available for students, faculty, staff, and parents to use. The Media Center is designed to provide a quiet, friendly atmosphere in which patrons can access materials in a variety of formats appropriate to all interests and viewpoints. Our goal is to promote reading and provide access to information, and ensure that our students acquire the 21st Century skills necessary to succeed in our global society.

Circulation Policy

Each student may check out TWO (2) items at a time. 

Parents may check out FIVE (5) items at a time.

Library materials are checked out to parents and students for one month and may be renewed once, if necessary. All materials checked out of the Media Center are the responsibility of the patron. Lost or damaged materials must be paid for in full before additional materials may be borrowed. A book is considered lost only if it is overdue for a period of 90 days. Refunds will be given if a lost book is found and returned to the Media Center in good condition.

All library materials must be returned to the Media Center at the end of every school year, before summer reading materials can be checked out.
