The mission of the library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information.
This mission is accomplished:
- by providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats;
- by providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas; and
- by working with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students.
