Celebrate your #fREADOM to read

Welcome to the Chestnut Elementary Media Center Webpage.  The role of the Media Center has changed throughout the history of education, but the goal has remained the same: to provide access to engaging resources and books.  Our mission is to help learners of all ages develop the love of reading.  Explore literacy through a number of ways, including print and electronic resources.  Learn informational research skills and strategies.  Participate in maker space events, family nights and book fairs.
