Library Media Center
Media Specialists: Tammy Young and Samantha Gallman
Media Assistant: Holly VanDonkelaar
The Library media center provides access to a variety of resources including books, magazines, newspapers, online databases, computer programs, audiovisual materials and much more. These resources are made available to support student learning and to ensure students have many experiences which influence their development as information technology literate citizens. Two full-time librarians are available to assist students with selecting the materials they need to best answer their questions and to guide them in selecting the book that best suits their individual reading preferences.
Our Mission:
The mission of the media staff of Owen High School Media Center is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. We strive to meet this goal by collaborating with staff and linking students’ information needs with North Carolina’s guidelines for Information Skills Curriculum:
