Philosophy:
-
Information literacy is essential to critical thinking and independent, lifelong learning.
- The purpose of the library is to support school and district curriculum, teachers' classrooms, and students' interests.
- The library is available to staff and students throughout and beyond the day.
-
Scheduled visits to the library have a purpose and all activities are supportive of the curriculum.
-
Classes, small groups, and individuals are scheduled into the library for varying time periods appropriate to need.
-
Use of the library for activities planned by the teacher and library media specialist has priority.
-
Student and staff use of the library may be scheduled for activities not needing the library media specialist.
Policies / Rules:
- The library media center is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and some days later.

- Students in the library are expected to have a purpose and to act responsibly. They will work quietly so as not to disturb others.
- The school-wide code of conduct is enforced.
- Internet access is available, and students are expected to use the resource responsibly.
- The responsible care of books and materials is the responsibility of each student - "treat books as you want to be treated".
