Vision Statement

The Library Media Program plays a central role in the teaching/learning process and empowers curricula by cultivating an authentic, information and resource based learning environment in a K-12 program.

The Library Media Program creates a foundation for literature appreciation, life-long learning, critical thinking and problem solving. The program prepares students to be contributing citizens in a technologically complex, multi-cultural, global environment. Library Media Specialists in the program collaborate with classroom teachers in implementing curricula. The program provides all members of the school community with equal access to a wide range of services, activities, resources, and educational technologies.

This vision is accomplished by:
· Ensuring that students and teachers are effective and efficient users and producers of information;
· Providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats;
· Providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas;
· Working with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students.
