Our Library and Technology Program
WELCOME!
Welcome to the Bromwell LMC! LMC stands for Library Media Center. This space is home to our book collection as well as our computer lab. Although the space is small a great deal of big activities go on in the library. All the classes from Kindergarten through 5th Grade come to the library weekly, if not more often! Students check out books, do research, learn to word process, make Power Point presentations, and more. See the schedule at the bottom.
TEACHER-LIBRARIAN Mr. Cutler is in his 8th year as the Teacher-Librarian and technology teacher at Bromwell. His position also includes providing technology support for the school. Mr. Cutler was a classroom teacher and librarian for many years in San Francisco before moving to Denver. He also coordinates the school talent show, Million Word Reading Campaign, student council, and the technology committee.

Special Library Programs
Birthday Books! Each month a letter will go home with the children whose birthday is that month. This is an invitation to make a present of a book to the library in honor your child’s birthday! The book will receive a Birthday Bookplate recognizing your child’s gift and will become a part of our collection. All children who donate will also receive a Happy Birthday pencil as a thank you. Contact me if you need help deciding what book to get.
Scholastic Book Fair! Every year we have a fantastic book fair run entirely by awesome parent volunteers! This October the gym will be transformed into a dazzling Scholastic Books’ store. Books can be purchased for home, for classrooms (see teacher wish lists at the fair), and for the library. Also, a portion of all earnings will go toward the purchase of new books for our Bromwell library!

FAQ’S? Can we donate personal books to the library that are in good condition? YES! Please leave them in a bag or box behind the library desk with a note. Can we come in and help or visit the library? YES! You can make a spontaneous visit or plan it with me. Can the children renew books and keep them longer? YES! Under 6 weeks they do not need the book with them to renew it. What if my child loses a library book? You can pay the standard $20 lost book fee, replace the book with a new or like new copy, or you can see me about replacing it with another comparable book. What if I accidentally return a Bromwell book to the public library? DPL will forward it to Bromwell. Please let me know that happened. Can parents check out books to read at home? Yes, under your child’s name or by creating your own patron account.
VOLUNTEERS WELCOME! There is such a variety of activities going on in our library media center that volunteers are very much welcome. For example, our volunteers help shelve books, work with students doing research, read aloud to students, assist with checking in and out books, and help students find books using our online database. Parent and grandparent volunteers have helped keep our library running smoothly over the years and their assistance is always appreciated!
COMING SOON! Soon I hope to have more updates, images, and info along and a link to Bromwell’s first student run PODCAST! In the meantime, enjoy these summer reading Bromwell Library podcasts that I did over the summer. http://web.mac.com/aroyalmood/iWeb/BROMWELL%20LIBRARY/Podcast/Podcast.html
