Library Media Review and Evaluation Center 

Library Media Materials

A county or school-level committee may evaluate library media materials.   Library media materials are those published for the individual reader and selected by the library media specialist and include both book and nonbook materials, housed primarily in the library media center and used to support the instructional program.   The county-level committee reviews and evaluates library media materials. The county Review & Evaluation Office generates lists of recommended book titles.  These lists are distributed to school library media specialists for use in the selection and ordering of materials.  The school-level committee evaluates materials for current supplemental use.  This committee also reviews and evaluates gifts, donations and book titles earned through fund-raising efforts.  School-level committees will determine if the materials meet the established criteria.  Materials approved by the school-level committee are forwarded to the county Review and Evaluation Office for clearance and processing.  Library media materials are considered to be supplementary classroom instructional materials and are not to be regarded as textbooks.
