Media Center
Meet our Media Specialist
Hello! My name is Ms. Jennifer Eunice and I love being the Media Specialist at Manatee Cove!! I attended Deland High School and graduated in 2007. I worked at the Deland Public Library while attending Daytona State College and the University of Central Florida for a degree in Elementary Education. I also have a Masters in Educational Technology from Adelphi University.
This is my 11th year with Volusia County Schools. I started by teaching Intensive Reading for 3 years at University High School. Then I taught 5th grade for 3 years and 4th grade for 2 years.
This is my fourth year being the Media Specialist and I love getting to share the joy of reading with your children every day.
If you are ever interested in volunteering at the library, I would love to have you. My email address is jmeunice@volusia.k12.fl.us. Thank you!!

Media Center Hours
The Manatee Cove Media Center will be open from 7:50-2:30. If you need access to the media center after 2:30, please contact me and I can work on scheduling a time for you to bring your child by.
Check-out procedures
Students in grades K-1, will be allowed to check out one book at a time. Their teachers may have them keep their books in their classroom until they feel they are ready to start taking books home.
Students in grades 2-5 will be allowed to check out two books at a time. They are allowed to take their books home, but they are responsible for the cost of the book if they lose or damage it.
Media Center Access
The purpose of the school library media center is to encourage the love of reading and to support the school community and curriculum goals through self-selected reading materials. The media specialist collaborates with families and teachers to support students in the selection of reading materials that meet their reading interests.
Media Access Levels
Parents and guardians have the right to limit their child’s access to materials in the school library. The media access level a parent/guardian selects for their student will be in effect for the student’s academic career in Volusia County Schools. The parent/guardian may request a change in access at any time by completing the form again or contacting the school media specialist.
The default access for all students is limited.
Definitions of access levels
- Limited Access: A student may access materials in the media center except for items on the parent permission required list and Young Adult (YA) titles (middle school only).
- Unlimited Access: A student has full access to the materials in Volusia County Schools libraries including access to any titles that require parent permission. This includes permission for the student to check out Young Adult (YA) titles when the student is in middle school.
- No Access: A student is not permitted access to materials in any of the Volusia County Schools libraries without parent permission.
Process for Modifying Media Access
Parents may modify their child’s access to materials in the school library by completing the Volusia County Schools Media Access or by completing a paper-based Volusia County Schools Media Access form available from the school media specialist.
