Mission Statement: At Bandera ISD school libraries, we are dedicated to fostering integrity, embracing our small-town pride, and empowering choices for all of our students. It is our goal to create welcoming environments where our school community members are engaged and inspired as lifelong learners while promoting academic growth. Join us in shaping a brighter future through knowledge and the power of the written word. Bandera ISD, where readers become leaders.

Parents as Partners

Libraries in Bandera ISD are a large part of our school community when it comes to engaging students and collaborating with faculty and staff. Reading develops vocabulary and comprehension skills our students need when in school or in the real world. However, our biggest partnership is with you, the parents, because reading begins at home. We believe that every student should have the right of choice when it comes to picking out the books they like to read, but you as the parent can control what your child reads, just like you can monitor their social media and movie selections.
