VISION
The library media center is the hub of Morrisville Elementary School. Students share the inviting and stimulating area all day long on a flexible basis as they read for pleasure, research topics or create projects.  The layout of furniture and materials is purposefully organized so children can use materials and  computers independently.  The sound of students at work - comparing opinions, solving problems and helping each other.  A sense of community is evident as volunteers work with students or assist the library staff.  Parents browse the shelves choosing books for family reading.  They stop to admire the student work on display all around the center.  On the rug, a class participates in an interactive story time.
