Materials CollectionNon-Fiction

The JES Media Center collection includes over 3500 non-fiction items that are continually being updated to correlate with the changing curriculum. Although the media center contains a comprehensive range of non-fiction throughout the Dewey Decimal Classification System, the largest part of non-fiction resource items are in the areas of biographies, folklore/fairytales, Science, and Geography/History. Just recently, the media specialist attended a two-day workshop devoted entirely to analyzing the current collection, identifying resources that are too old, worn, or inappropriate to provide curriculum support, and identifying curriculum areas that need more support.
