Mission Statement

Library Mission Statement:

The mission of the Broad Rock Middle School Library is to create a student-centered library media center which provides a safe, nurturing environment in which students can successfully seek information and ideas for their educational, informational, and recreational needs. The library seeks to promote an appreciation of literature enabling students to interpret meaning from various forms of literature as they become lifelong readers and learners.

Further, the library seeks to ensure that our students acquire the necessary information literacy skills they will need to become productive learners, with skills and knowledge necessary to lead successful, meaningful lives in the 21st century. This mission recognizes the essential role of the school library program in the educational process as students strive to reach their full potential.
