Our Mission
The Caughman Road Elementary Media Center is an extension of the classroom. In addition, the SLMP seeks to foster 21st century learning. We seek to provide equitable access to materials and information for all CRES students. We strive to create an environment that promotes critical thinking & a lifelong love of learning.
Policies and Procedures
The media center operates on an open, flexible schedule. This means that patrons are welcome anytime. Students in the lower grades visit the media center on a weekly, scheduled basis for story time and to check-out books. Students in upper grade levels visit in small groups to select books or to conduct research. All classes are encouraged to schedule time for collaborative lessons and group research.
Students in 2nd -5th grade can check-out up to three books. Books are due back in two weeks. Note, if a student has overdue books, their ability to check-out additional books will be limited.
Hi! I'm Mrs. Hering and I am your librarian here at Caughman Road Elementary. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with my MLIS in May of 2018. I began my teaching career in 2000 after graduating with a degree in Early Childhood & Elementary Education from Georgia Southern University. Before becoming a librarian, I taught second and fourth grades in Florida, Georgia, and the Upstate. I also worked at CRES as a Kindergarten assistant during graduate school. I have been the librarian here at Caughman Road since 2018 and I love matching the right child with the right book!
I have a son and daughter who are alumni CRES's Montessori program and am wife to one amazing husband. When I'm not at school, I enjoy snuggling with my dog, Stella. I also love reading, listening to podcasts, and watching reruns of NCIS on Netflix.
