The mission of the RHS Library Media Program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. The vision of the school library program is to provide an inviting, dynamic learning environment and services that support and enhance teaching, literacy and learning. This mission is accomplished by:
- providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats
- providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using ideas and information
- working with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students
(From: Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning By the American Association of School Librarians (1998))
In accordance with the ideals set forth in the Profile of a Ramsey Graduate, we seek to engage students in meaningful experiences that foster 21st century learning in areas of critical thinking and research skills, productive and responsible collaboration and communication in the digital landscape, and further their capacity for empathy as they engage with one another and in the diverse world community.
