Library
The goal of the school library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. Our school library media program will provide intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats; provide instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas; and work with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students.
