Our mission is to support and enhance lifelong learning for the 21st century by anticipating and fulfilling the needs of students and staff for information, encouraging reading for information and pleasure, and enriching the quality of life in the schools and in the community.

Our goals are to implement, enrich, and support the curriculum, the Virginia SOL and technology initiatives. Each school library media center shall provide materials, services, and activities that will help each student, faculty member, and community member to obtain skills to use information effectively in a complex information environment. We further strive to encourage all students to read for enrichment and recreation, to help them improve and refine research skills, to work collaboratively with classroom teachers, and to provide equitable access to the best (up-to-date resources) (available print and non-print materials) on the widest possible variety of topics.
