The mission of the school library program is to provide an inviting, dynamic learning environment and services that support and enhance teaching, literacy and learning. This mission is accomplished

          From: Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning By the American Association of School Librarians (1998)

The goal of our school library program is to provide an inviting, dynamic learning environment and services that support and enhance teaching, literacy and learning. 

Our vision for the 6-8 library media center is to be a true center of production of new ideas, experiences, and connections to the world outside our front doors.

In accordance with the ideals set forth in the Profile of a Ramsey Graduate, we seek to engage students in meaningful experiences that foster 21st century learning in areas of critical thinking and research skills, productive and responsible collaboration and communication in the digital landscape, and further their capacity for empathy as they engage in a diverse world community.
