A sign at the door to our library media center asks:
NEED HELP? ... The difficult we can do right away.
The impossible takes a little longer.
If you need help, you know you can ALWAYS ask the librarian, Mrs. Turner. :~)
Mrs. Turner has worked in libraries at all levels (Kindergarten--College).
She began her career as a Grade 5-7 teacher with a special love for
literature.
Also remember, at the checkout desk, or in the stacks, our wonderful library
aide, Mrs. Blandino, is happy to assist. :~)
Mrs. Blandino enjoyed working as a classroom aide at LHMS for fifteen years,
prior to joining our library staff.
The mission of the school library media program is to ensure that all students
and staff are effective users of ideas and information.
(Information Power, p. 6-7)
The library media staff collaborates with the faculty to integrate information
literacy skills with content area instruction. Together, we guide students to:
1. Access information efficiently and effectively.
2. Evaluate information critically and competently.
3. Use information effectively and creatively.
4. Pursue information related to personal interests.
5. Appreciate and enjoy literature and creative expressions of information.
6. Strive for excellence in information seeking.
7. Recognize the importance of information to a democratic society.
8. Practice ethical behavior in regard to information and technology.
