Objectives of the Library

At Canyon Vista Middle School we believe in providing a challenging, 
supportive and collaborative atmosphere for our kids - and this philosophy 
is perfect for the Canyon Vista library. We pride ourselves in following 
state and national library standards with the objectives of producing 
discerning, information literate problem-solvers foremost in our plans and 
actions.  

The mission of the Round Rock ISD Library Services Program as a whole is to 
collaborate with teachers and others to provide age-appropriate resources 
and meaningful learning experiences at point of need; to advocate reading 
improvement by fostering an interest in literature and reading; and to 
empower all students to become skillful consumers and producers of 
information and ideas.

"Students who score higher on tests tend to come from schools which have 
more library resource staff and more books, periodicals and videos, and 
where the instructional role of the media specialist and involvement in 
cooperative program planning and teaching is more prominent." Impact of
