Clara School Library Media Center Mission

The mission of the Clara School Library Media Center is to focus on educational experiences that foster a partnership with parents, communities, and technology to develop our students into productive citizens focusing on skills that build character, decision making, lifelong learning, and to promote reading in the library media center.

 

Clara School Library Media Center Vision

The vision of the Clara School Library Media Center is for the media center to be the focal point of the school and to serve as the core of the educational program. The library media center must strive to accommodate students and teachers during non -structured time and regularly scheduled curriculum areas. The library media center will maintain a collection of print and non-print items that will support the curriculum and interest the patrons.
