What We Offer...

  • The MPS Library is staffed by a highly-qualified, certified Library Media

Specialist and a part-time Library Assistant.

  • The library serves 650 students for 45 minutes each week.
  • Our entire library is computerized.  Our circulation system is fully automated.

Books and materials are checked out using a barcode system.  Also, items can be accessed through our web-based OPAC system, online public access catalog, by keyword, title, author, and subject.  Click here to access the MPS OPAC.

  • We have a web-based Accelerated Reader program. The goal of the AR program is to

increase students' reading comprehension skills. The program encourages all students to read more books while having fun. Please see the AR link on the MPS homepage for information about how this program works or click here.

  • We sponsor a Scholastic Book Fair during the school year. Students and their families

can shop at the fair for high-quality books from today's most popular award-winning authors and illustrators.  To learn more about Scholastic and its' educational products, please click here.  To learn more about Scholastic Book Fairs, please click here. 

  • We sponsor three Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) book distributions each year. At each distribution, every student gets to choose one brand-new, free book to keep.  For more information on the federal RIF program, please click here.

computers for various purposes.
