Library Mission

It is the role of the Massena Library Media Center Program to cultivate an enthusiasm
for reading, which is the foundation for developing effective users of ideas and information.

--District Library Media Program Vision

The mission of the library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users
of ideas and information.  This mission is accomplished:

  • by providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats.

  • by providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas.
  • by working with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students.

--Information Power, Guidelines for the Library Media Programs (1988), p.1
