As an introduction to the 2013-2014 school year, the Brown Middle School Media Center team conducted an orientation and book checkout drive during the first month of school. 
Part of the implementation of Common Core Curriculum literacy skills, as well as college and career readiness, all language arts classes participated in a media center services scavenger-hunt.
The task included locating books from different genres, looking up books available online and accessing downloadable books.
The Brown Middle School Media Center’s mission statement is to “ensure that students are effective users of information” and their goal is to help students strengthen their skills in reading, research, and information literacy.
During the school’s media center orientation, students checked out over 518 books!
