Mission statement

The school librarian collaborates with teachers to empower students to be lifelong critical thinkers, independent readers, skillful researchers, and ethical users of information.

Vision statement

The vision of our school library media program is that equitable and intellectual access to the school library's information resources and tools are required for student success. A safe, open, accessible and inviting learning library commons is essential to student achievement, citizenship and support the principles of intellectual freedom.
