Abbotsford Elementary School has developed a centralized Instructional Material Center (IMC).

The center will serve students and teachers and include all areas of curriculum with encyclopedias, almanacs, dictionaries, specialized reference books, film strips, recordings, and other audio visual equipment.

Materials will offer teachers and students ways to present and learn as individuals, small groups or in large groups.

IMC director is Mary Laverty. She will be responsible for checking out materials, teaching classes how to use the library facilities, setting up programs to meet special education need of children and coordinating units of instruction that teacher may request.

The new media center is located in a 34 by 30 room on the lower floor of the new section of the school. The floor is tiled similar to other floor construction in that area.
