Welcome to the Olde Towne Middle School Library
"Welcome to the Library" is the heart of Olde Towne Library's mission. We want everyone to feel welcome in the library and to have access to fiction books, non-fiction books, audio books, documentaries and online resources that support pleasure reading, learning and research. We strive to have an active collection that supports the school's curriculum and subjects that interest our students. At the beginning of 2019-2020 school year, we had 9,753 books, but that number constantly changes as we discard out of date and well-loved and worn books and add new books. We want students and faculty to love to read, love to learn and to have that love every day of their lives. Reading and learning contribute greatly to lifelong fulfillment.How to Search for Books in the LibraryYou can search the OTMS Collection to see if we have a book you want by going to the Destiny Discover link above. From this site, Destiny Discover offers basic database search engine functions where you can search by author, title, keyword, etc. The software indicates if we have the book and if it is in or checked out.About the librarian, Mrs. McGraw!This is my fourth year as Olde Towne Middle School's Media Specialist (Librarian) and I am still so excited!
