"The mission of the library media program is to ensure that 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
* by working with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the
needs of individual students."
