West Chester Area School District: Library and Media Services Mission Statement
The mission of the West Chester Area School District library program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. This mission is accomplished by:
The high school (9-12) library programs also employ a flexible schedule, and teachers bring individual classes to the library to meet curriculum requirements. Teachers and the librarians work cooperatively to meet American Library Association standards and enhance the learning process in a real world approach using various learning and teaching styles. Students are instructed in our online databases, print materials, and internet searching strategies.
- Providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats
- Providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas
- Working with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students.
