MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Pointer Ridge Elementary School Library Media Program is
to provide a curriculum based instructional program that empowers
our students and staff with the skills and experiences necessary to become
effective users of ideas and information in our global society.
ABOUT OUR LIBRARY
The library media center provides materials to promote the love of reading
and to support the curriculum. We recognize the importance of reading for
pleasure as well as the need to complete assignments and explore ideas. We
therefore maintain a balanced collection for students, staff, and parents in
the form of print, non-print, and electronic materials. We are building a
community of information literate individuals who are independent thinkers
and lifelong learners.
