Ask the Librarian

Frequently asked questions:

1.  Can I recommend a book for the library?

Yes, recommendations from students, teachers, and parents are always welcome.  Email me the titles of any books you think would be good additions to our collection.

2.  Who decides what books are in the Media Center?

Following Gwinnett County policy, all purchases must be approved by the Media Committee, which is made up of teacher representatives from each grade level, administrators, and parents.  I make the selections after reading at least 3 reviews about each book and often check with other media specialists for their opinions.

3.  Why don't we have A.R. quizzes for all of the books?

A.R. quizzes must be purchased.  The Camp Creek PTA provides the funds each year to purchase more quizzes, so we add as many as we can each year using those funds.  Also, not all books have had a quiz written for them by Renaissance Learning, the company that produces the quizzes.

4.  Why can't I take A.R. quizzes at home?

The A.R. program does not provide internet access for the quizzes.  The quizzes are only available on computers in the school.

5.  Can I purchase A.R. quizzes for books my child has read?

Yes, you can.  Since we use the PTA funds to purchase quizzes for books that are in the Media Center collection, we are unable to purchase quizzes for all books.  Parents and students may purchase a quiz for $3.00 by making  a donation to the Media Center for that purpose.
