The mission of the Catholic school elementary library program is to
support and extend all curriculum areas. In collaboration with faculty, we
strive to prepare students to become effective users of information and
literate life long learners. The library curriculum serves as a framework
for teaching research strategies; developing skills to analyze, evaluate,
interpret, and communicate information and ideas; fostering an
appreciation for literature, promoting reading for pleasure, and encouraging
independent learning experiences. This framework acknowledges the gospel
message and nurtures our Catholic heritage.
