Library Mission Statement
Our school library
will provide a collaborative learning environment allowing learners,
of various learning styles, interests and abilities, opportunities to
actively engage in and interact with a variety of resources (print,
digital and human) representing various views and beliefs.
The learner’s
informational literacy needs will be met through a variety of
activities and experiences in selecting, retrieving, analyzing,
evaluating, synthesizing, creating and communicating information while
demonstrating their understanding and new knowledge.
Through an inquiry
based library program, where the classroom teacher and teacher
librarian work together collaboratively, learners will be able to
observe, reason, question, think critically, solve problems and
justify opinions while developing their skills and attitudes in
becoming independent and responsible learners, and in becoming
individually and socially aware as they make sense of the world around
them.
To meet their
reading literacy needs, learners will be exposed to a range of reading
initiatives which will encourage and promote reading for enjoyment, as
well as for learning.
