Mission Statement  

It is the mission of the School Library Media Center to ensure that all students develop the skills that are necessary to become independent, capable, and competent information users and lifelong learners. These skills include the ability to locate, access, evaluate, organize, integrate, use and communicate information and ideas from a wide variety of sources and formats. Library instruction therefore, integrates information skills into curriculum units rather that teaching them in isolation. Student centered research projects are developed and coordinated through a cooperative effort with classroom teachers. These hands-on activities recognize the standards set by the State of New York.
