Campus Library Mission and Vision
Campus Library Mission and Vision
A campus school library is a shared space among many schools. Each school has its own mission and vision that articulate that school’s philosophy, approach, and style of instruction. The campus school library must take these differences into account, creating mission and vision statements that are generous enough to contain all these unique approaches and elastic enough to grow as the campus evolves and changes.
Writing your Mission and Vision Statements
Writing your Mission and Vision Statements
When creating your mission and vision, be creative, but don’t reinvent the wheel! Use available resources and above all, talk to your stakeholders! Run drafts by your principals, library allies, and above all, your library advisory community (LAC), detailed later in this handbook.
Review the mission and vision statements of all schools on your campus. Are there shared themes? Elements that speak to library values or goals? Build from these ideas.
The New York City School Library System LibGuide includes pages on Vision, Mission, Goals, and Expectations are both helpful in their own right and filled with great links.
BEST PRACTICE: Check out mission and vision statements of other campus libraries, or library programs you admire. Use them as inspiration. The Library Directory is a great resource to explore other school library sites.
