Activities to help you practice being safe, respectful and responsible digital citizens!


​Thanks for stopping by! The Media Center at Truro Central School is always bustling with activity.  From before the bell rings to start the day to after school activities, it's the place to be!  You can use the blue buttons above to navigate to other parts of the Media Center page.

Media Special Fridays
Students in Kindergarten through Grade 5 visit the our library each Friday during one of their special times and sixth grade visits on Wednesdays. The Media Special includes a read-aloud and/or media skills activity along with checking out books.  

Borrowing Books
  • Students in Kindergarten through Grade 2 may have up to 5 books checked out at any one time.
  • Students in Grade 3 through Grade 6 may have up to 10 books checked out at any one time.
Please help your student to care for his/her books.  As a family, you might choose a special place in your home where library books "live".  It helps everyone keep track of books and keeps them safe.   You and your student can use this handy tool to see which books are currently checked out as well as browse our titles.  If you need login information again, please send me an email.

In addition to checking out books during their Media Special, students can check out books with their teacher's permission at any time during the school day.
​
Overdue Books and Fines
Students are not assessed fines at school.  If a book is lost or damaged, please let me know and we will talk about it.

In an effort to remind students to keep track of their library books, I ask that students renew their overdue books.  That way, we can minimize those books that get lost or forgotten underneath beds or car seats. Also, if we keep returning overdue books, we can help the puma make it to the top of her tree!
