Welcome to the Media Center of Somerset Miramar Charter School

   Students in grades K-1st will be able to select from a wide variety of easy readers and keep the book for a week. After that time they will return the book and then select a new book for their reading enjoyment.

   Grades 2-5th grade students will be able to check out 2 books. They will be able to come to the library every week to check out books.

   Middle School Library is dependent on their reading teacher.  They will come to the library as often as they need and are allowed to by their teacher(s).

  "All the stories of the world are but one story in reality--the story of escape. It is the only thing that interests us all and in all times, how to escape." Arthur Christian Benson

                                               Other Ideas:                        

**Read every chance you get.. (road signs, restaurant signs, menus, back of food packages, advertisements, grocery bills, magazines, newspapers, comics, just READ)

**Read in front of your child so that they see its fun to read. **Volunteer to bring in your child's favorite book to read to his or her class.

**Join a book club or create your own family book club. One family member  can choose a book and  then talk about it as a family.
