Welcome to the Eisenhower "Ike" Library webpage!
My name is Sam Palsmeier and I’m the Guy-brarian at Eisenhower.
The Media Center plays an essential supporting role in our community to meet our educational goals.
I want our students to become independent learners and readers. Students need to develop information literacy skills and be able to “Answer my own questions.”
Today information is organized more and more in digital formats. These resources present new challenges to learners and information seekers. Children especially need to develop and integrate “perseverance” skills with digital and online resources.
Through the continuation of reading for enjoyment, gaining knowledge and critical thinking skills, and the introduction and integration of new Web 2.0 applications and digital information systems, we will build a new vision of the media center and provide a Twenty-First century learner environment.
During the 2010/11 school year students are using the “I PICK” strategy for choosing books.

***NEW-Nooks in the Library!
The Ike Library has purchased 18 Simple Touch Nook eReaders. These Nooks are currently being checkedout to 5th graders and contain the new 2012 Newbery Award winning books. More books will be added as the school continues and checkout will be extended to 4th grade after Spring Break. Our Nook program is possble thanks to the funds we raised from the fall book fair.
