Mission and Vision
The Mission of the LCSD library media program is to ensure a lifelong love of reading and to teach students transferable skills that enable them to thoughtfully and safely seek out information in academic and real-life situations.
Our goal is to provide all students with equitable access to timely nonfiction materials that support the curriculum, align with state library standards, and are grade-appropriate, in addition to fiction titles that are popular, grade-appropriate, fun reading materials that encourage independent reading.
Strong School Library defined:
“'Strong school library program' means a planned effort to ensure the instruction of students, school staff, and the broader learning community in library skills, information literacy, and educational technology; such a program promotes a rich array of literacy experiences supporting life-long reading; facilitates collaboration in lesson planning and instruction; ensures equitable access to library resources and licensed school librarians; and develops and manages current, plentiful, and diverse library collections of print and electronic resources that support classroom curricula and student interests."
