Welcome to the HMS Media Center

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to provide a quality program encouraging all students to become lifelong learners, effective users of information, critical and creative problem solvers, while providing an environment that encourages a love of reading.

Hoover's Media Center:

 Students visiting the media center enjoy reading, research, learning information skills, Accelerated Reader, and creating in the maker space. Students visit with classes and as individuals. Reading, inventing, and helping students obtain information literacy skills is a primary focus of the Hoover Library Media Center.

 Students use a variety of resources including print materials, robotics, and computer labs. The library collection is expanded with the use of electronic databases such as World Book Online and our eBook Collection. Students also have electronic access to research materials through the Gale student resource databases and the Florida Electronic Library.

 Students also explore their creative and problem solving sides in the Northrup Grumman Innovation Center (a maker space) located in the Hoover's Library Media Center.  Everything from composing music to 3D design and printing to programming robotics and more is available to interested students.  

Library Leaders Club:

The Hoover Library Leaders Club is an opportunity for students to earn service hours while learning about the inner workings of the Hoover Media Center. Students will learn important skills such as:

• The Dewey Decimal System

• Book Shelving

• Creating exciting literary themed displays

• Delivering books, DVDs, and materials to teachers

• Basic book repair

If you are interested in expanding your knowledge of how a library works, you have come to the right club! The Hoover Library Leaders will meet every Friday from 8:30 am - 9:25 am starting Friday, September 20, 2024.
