 Our
Information Center
Hainerberg
Information Center, one of the largest in Germany, is the size of eight
classrooms. It contains over 15,000 items which includes books, videos,
reference materials, models, professional items, CDs, computer programs
and magazines.
The Information
Center is open from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM every day for students, staff members
and parents. On Wednesdays, we are open until 5:00 PM for the
Family Reading Program. The media center is open to all students in grades
1-5 throughout the day. Students may come individually or in small
groups to exchange books, do research and to use the computers. The
Sure Start students, pre-schoolers, and kindergartners come to the media
center as a class on a weekly basis to exchange books. Information
and research skills are taught in coordination with classroom teachers
and in conjunction with the curriculum.
The
media center is automated with 4 (OPAC Explorer) workstations set aside
to search for materials available in our collection. In addition,
15 computer workstations are available for research, word processing, and
a variety of educational games and stories. These computers
have Internet capability and are available to parents and students who
have signed the Internet Access Agreement Form. A filter is in place
in all DoDEA schools and internet usage is monitored at all times by media
personnel. A scanner and several digital cameras are also available
in the library.
