Lakeview Library

Library Mission and Vision

“The school library provides information and ideas that are fundamental to functioning successfully in today’s information and knowledge-based society. The school library equips students with life-long learning skills and develops the imagination, enabling them to live as responsible citizens.”

Resourced from the IFLA at http://archive.ifla.org/VII/s11/pubs/manifest.html

The Library Media Specialist not only encourages reading by providing access to a variety of material, but also promotes and teaches information literacy skills. With the integration of technology, these skills lead to students becoming effective users and creators of information; skills necessary for life-long learning to occur.

Check Out Policy

The library is a place of intellectual freedom and freedom of choice in book selection, regardless of reading level. We do not level books in the library.

There are no general restrictions on the type of selection or amount of books checked out by a student, unless deemed unreasonable by the library media specialist.

While the library media specialist encourages students to browse in certain areas of the library based on age and interest, no area is restricted.

Parents are encouraged to talk to their child about library visits if they prefer specific types of books to come home.

Books must be returned or renewed each library visit. If your child does not bring back library books, they will be limited to checking out only one book until the others are returned. The librarian has the right to deny checkout if a student has not returned any books over a long period of time.
