MISSION STATEMENT Mrs. Mary Beth Moloney Information Specialist PreK4 thru Eighth Grade Objectives of the Library The mission of the Catholic elementary school library program is to support and extend all curriculum areas. In collaboration with faculty we strive to prepare students to become effective users of information and literate life long learners. The library curriculum serves as a framework for teaching research strategies; developing skills to analyze, evaluate, interpret and communicate information and ideas; fostering an appreciation for literature, promoting reading for pleasure and encouraging independent learning experiences. This framework acknowledges the gospel message and nurtures our Catholic heritage. St. Jerome-Patron Saint of Librarians |
