Our Vision

The mission of the Library Media Center is to encourage and assist students and teachers to be effective and discriminating users of ideas and information, and to foster the reading habit and use of libraries for lifelong learning.

Information Literacy Standards

• The student determines the information need by defining the question/problem and developing a thesis statement.
• The student plans strategies for research by identifying possible information sources as well as subjects and keywords.
• The student accesses information recognizing the various methods of organization for print, electronic and other resources and employing strategies to retrieve relevant, quality material.
• The student evaluates information using a set of criteria for validity, distinguishes fact and opinion, and determines if the information satisfies the need.
• The student uses information ethically, organizes the information effectively and synthesizes ideas to create a useful product.
• The student evaluates the process and product, identifies strengths and weaknesses, and sets goals for improvement.

"The Library is not a shrine for the worship of books.  It is not a temple where literary incense must be burned or where one's devotion to the bound book is expressed in ritual.  A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas -- a place where history comes to life."
-Norman Cousins
