The mission of the library program is to ensure that
the students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. This
mission is accomplished by providing intellectual and physical access
to materials in all formats; by providing instruction to foster competence
and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and
ideas; and by working with other educators to design learning strategies
to meet the needs of individual students. The library shall also foster
learning in all students in a positive, caring, and motivational atmosphere
and provide and encourage a successful learning experience.
