Media Center
Vision
Our vision is to cultivate dynamic, inclusive library-media centers at
every school in the district that foster literacy appreciation, inspire
curiosity, support academic excellence, and prepare all learners to
thrive in a global, information-rich society. We envision libraries as
collaborative hubs where knowledge, creativity, and innovation
flourish.
Mission
The mission of the district Library-Media Program is to empower
all students and educators to become effective users and
creators of information and ideas by providing equitable access
to diverse resources, technologies, and instructional support. In
alignment with the Alabama Course of Study and the AASL
National School Library Standards, our program fosters a culture
of inquiry, literacy, ethical digital citizenship, and lifelong learning.
