School Library Media Specialists provide building and district leadership, instruction in the use of technologies and information literacy skills, and consultation services to support both the integration of technology with curriculum and traditional readers advisory. As our roles continue to become more diverse, so does the need to maintain and update our professional skills.
The mission of the Secondary Library Media Program is to ensure that students and staff become effective users of ideas and information (Information Power).
