MISSION STATEMENT
The media center program provides access to information and ideas for all users. It affords opportunities for students to appreciate literature and the cultural arts, to learn creative thinking skills, to become critical seekers of information and ideas and to use instructional and educational technology effectively so they may become independent life-long learners and decision makers.
