Mission 

Activities, Events &
Media Programming

2023-2024

Vision

Our mission is to contribute to student achievement and lifelong learning by providing a representative collection of books and various resources that can be used to support the curriculum in partnership or in collaboration with classroom teachers. As well as insuring that the media center (Shark Central) is accessible to teachers of all subject areas and is available to all students as an extension of the classroom to further their educational experience and learning while at Atlantic High School.
Shark Central (Media Center @ AHS) is the school's largest classroom. A place where teachers can use the various spaces to deliver instruction in creative and innovative ways. It is also a safe space, where each and every student can continue to engage and contribute to their own learning. And an environment that cultivates a community of diversity and inclusion in ensuring that we all learn, grow, and succeed... together.​

What is Banned Books Week?
​October 1-7, 2023

The American Library Association typically highlights a list of books--usually the top 10 from the previous year that might have been challenged, questioned, and/or received attention for its content and how it's interpreted. Reasons for objection(s) or pending censorship is also provided. The purpose for this observance is to inform not promote as we acknowledge an individual's right to self-select and protect Intellectual Freedom. In the right setting individuals are encouraged to think critically, ask questions, and participate in guided discussions about these books. In a wider scope a list of the past 100 books can also be reviewed. This observation simply celebrates our constitutional right as individuals to read and listen to the ideas of others.

Shark Central
Teachers: Consider using the media center and its spaces to facilitate and enhance learning.

Unlike other years, I did not provide teachers with a Media Kit. I instead created an Infographic with information about media services, resources, and programming.
A QR Code and description for Media Center schedule was also included.
See Mrs. O'Brien for more information
