2. FSMS Library Mission Statement
The mission of the library program is to provide an inviting and
productive learning environment. We strive to make this a
resource-based learning center for all students, teenagers and older. This is the place to
retrieve, evaluate, and utilize information. This is accomplished by:
* accessing materials in all formats
* providing instruction to foster competence in retrieving
information and materials
* working with other educators as partners to meet the
needs of individual students.
