The mission of the Geary County Unified School District's library
media
program is to encourage lifelong learning and to meet the informational needs
of students, faculty, staff and administration by providing them with the necessary
strategies and skills to do so. In order to fulfill this mission the library media
program will:
- Provide intellectual and physical access to information and ideas
for a diverse population whose needs are changing
rapidly.
- Ensure equity and freedom of access to information and ideas,
unimpeded by social, cultural, economic, geographic,
or
technological constraints.
- Promote literacy and the enjoyment of reading, viewing, and
listening
for young people at all ages and stages of
development.
- Provide leadership and expertise in the use of information and
instructional technologies.
- Participate in partnerships
that enhance access to resources located
outside the school.
(INFORMATION POWER, 1988)
The Geary County Unified School District's library media
program is
a force for excellence in education. The library media program and the
the district's educational program are inter-dependent. To meet recommended
standards, the administration and Board of Education must support the
development of a collection adequate to meet curricular needs of the students.
