Archdiocese of Philadelphia
Elementary Library/Media Services
The mission of the Catholic school elementary 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
lifelong 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.
