About the IMC

The Carver Primary/Elementary  Instructional Media Center (referred to as the IMC) is located in the Primary School. It is a fully automated materials center for both  students and staff of both the Primary and Elementary schools.

The IMC provides teachers with traditional classroom media resources and services as well as video tapes,  AV equipment, and computer hardware and software. The IMC also houses a networked windows-based computer lab.

The IMC collection can be searched on the classroom computers as well as on the search terminals located in the IMC. Children in grades 2-5 are allowed to take out two books from the IMC while first graders may borrow one.  Students in grades 1 through 5 visit the IMC for a book exchange every other week. 

Teachers are  able to reserve the IMC for special visits and use of the computer lab. Meetings can be scheduled when classes are not in session. The IMC is open from 8 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. on school days.

The Spring Book Fair will be held during the week of April 7th.  Hours for the Book Fair are as follows: 

Monday through Thursday:  8:30 am until 2:30 pm

Friday:  8:30 am until 12:00 noon

Wednesday (Family Night):  8:30 am until 2:30 pm and 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm

Students will be able to visit the Book Fair with their class as well as with their family on Family Night.  If you would like to volunteer some time at the Book Fair, please call the IMC at (508) 866-6246.  Please check back for more details about the Fall Book Fair.  We hope to see you there!

Volunteers are always welcome at the IMC.  Volunteers can help with checking out books, helping students choose books, reshelving books, straightening shelves, processing new books and materials, designing displays, helping with the Book Fairs, and many other ways.  If you have some extra time and would like to work in the IMC, please call either the primary or elementary school offices or the IMC at (508) 866-6246.
