Library and Technology

Philosophy

An effective library program is an integral part of the total educational program, teaching students the basic processing skills necessary to connect them with information and ideas in all subject and interest areas.  Development of these skills involves the collaborative efforts of the librarian/library teacher, administrators, classroom teachers, computer teachers, technology coordinator, and students as active partners in the educational process, thus reinforcing the value of literacy and life-long learning.

The mission of the library is to provide a facility and program that will empower the learner with the ability to access and process information and ideas, support the educational strategies of the school community, and enable students to appreciate and enjoy literature and other creative expressions of information.
