The mission of the school library media program is to ensure that members of our school community are effective independent users of ideas and information essential for functioning in a changing world. In partnership with teachers, the library media program extends classroom experiences and assures that information skills are an integral part of other areas of learning. The program promotes literacy and an appreciation of language while nurturing a love of reading and an interest in viewing and listening. Students are encouraged to choose books that they can read and enjoy.
