Garden Springs Library Media Center Goals

To accomplish its mission, our library media center:

  • Supports student achievement of curricular goals and objectives.
  • Provides students and staff with physical and intellectual access to diverse sources of information, ideas and knowledge.
  • Stimulates and promotes information literacy through quality instruction, empowering students to become effective readers, information users, critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, and lifelong learners.
  • Strengthens effective teaching and learning through collaboration.
  • Provides resources that meet a broad range of individual learning styles, abilities, interests, and curriculum needs, including multicultural education.
  • Stimulates and promotes literacy in reading, listening, viewing and communicating for both pleasure and information.
  • Utilizes technology to address expanding information needs.
  • Promotes intellectual freedom and equitable access to information and ideas.

Objectives for the library media program adhere to the concepts found in the Kentucky Department of Education's publication Beyond Proficiency: Achieving a Distinguished Library Media Program and are, therefore, defined as a function of the partnership between the library media specialist, administrators, teachers, staff, students and parents.
