Welcome to the Old Town Middle School Library
"Welcome to the Library" is the heart of Old Town Library's mission. We want everyone to feel welcome in the library and to have access to fiction books, non-fiction books, audio books, documentaries and online resources that support pleasure reading, learning and research. We strive to have an active collection that supports the school's curriculum and subjects that interest our students. At the beginning of 2023-2024 school year, we had 9,727 books, but that number constantly changes as we discard out-of-date and worn books and we add new books. We want students and faculty to love to read, love to learn and to have that love every day of their lives. Reading and learning contribute greatly to lifelong fulfillment.

Below is the real Ms. McGraw, Do I look anything like my Bitmoji?
This is my eighth year as Old Town Middle School's Media Specialist (Librarian) and I am always excited to serve the students and faculty of OTMS! I love being in the school and educational environment and I really love being around BOOKS! I have a strong technical background with a BS in Computing and Information Systems from Mississippi College. I was a technician in this District's Technology Department for nine years and a STEM teacher at OTMS for four years. Fun Fact! I was a student librarian assistant for Mrs. Drake when I was a 7th grade student at Peeples Junior High School and I have loved the library ever since. My e-mail address is smcgraw@madison-schools.com. School Phone Number: 601-898-8730, ext. 1107. I also have a page called ABOUT ME if you want more information
