The Mission of the Northwestern Lehigh School District Library Program is to ensure that students become effective users of ideas and information by providing instruction in information-management skills and by providing physical access to materials. The school library program functions as an integral part of the curriculum, fostering an appreciation of literature and lifelong learning. By doing so, the libraries will support Pennsylvania's Academic Standards in association with the goals of quality education and the American Association of School Librarian's Informatiion Literacy Standards for Student Learning.
