The vision of the Tarrant City Schools’ Media Center Program is to develop independent thinkers and lifelong learners. Students that are college and/or career ready and able to actively contribute to our global society.
Schedule
The media center is open Monday through Friday from 7:30-2:45 PM. Students may use the media center for individual checkout and projects. The media center is also a classroom where each class meets weekly for 30 minutes with the media specialist.
Collection
The media center has over 8,000 items. Our collection includes books, interactive e-books, and a digital database.
Checkout Policy
Kindergartners may check out one book a week to keep in their classrooms. First and second grade students may check out three books.
Books are checked out for two weeks at a time. If a student has an overdue book, he or she may not check out another book until the overdue book is returned. There are no fines for overdue books. If a book is lost or damaged, the student is expected to pay for that item.
Our media center is a great place to learn and explore. It's also a really fun place to be!

I've been the librarian at Tarrant Elementary for about 20 years. In my opinion, my job is the best one in the building, and I love it just as much today as when I started. My favorite thing about my job is sharing books with our students and watching them grow into excited, capable readers.
