The Library/Media Center (LMC) is central to the school’s total educational
mission. It is fully integrated into the curriculum serving the
school’s educational goals
and objectives. The LMC strives to ensure that students and staff are effective users of
ideas and information, develop a love and enthusiasm for reading, and become effective
researchers. The LMC staff collaborates with school staff to encourage students to be
independent lifelong users of ideas and information. Reading is promoted as a means for
learning and enjoyment. Instruction provided encompasses multiple literacies including
information, digital, visual and technology. Our students become independent library users, informed
users of information, and life-long learners and readers.
Many different types of resources that promote the love of reading and support the curriculum
of the school are provided for students and staff including print and non-print material, research
materials and electronic resources. The LMC staff and teachers collaborate in lesson planning and
curriculum development.
The LMC supports the staff and students in many ways including library time
for research, projects, book exchange, information skills, puppet shows, story time, etc. LMC
resources are used by students to complete assignments, to explore ideas and to select from a wide
range of recreational reading on many topics. The LMC sponsors reading incentive programs and
book fairs during the school year that promote literacy. The LMC also houses a professional library with resources available for faculty use.
