MISSION STATEMENT
Each library in the Shelby County School District supports the instructional program of its school by providing materials to reinforce, enrich and extend classroom learning experiences. The librarian functions as a cooperative member of the teaching staff, a consultant on the use of materials and a teacher of those library skills which help students develop competency in the independent use of resources.
Shelby County Schools’ libraries play a vital role in developing a love of reading and in encouraging strong, lifelong reading habits. To this end, the LIS seeks to balance curriculum with recreational needs by selecting books of high appeal as well as those which will motivate students to develop independence in learning strategies, critical thinking skills, communication skills, appropriate attitudes and an appreciation of literature for both pleasure and information.
Shelby County Schools’ libraries establish an educational environment in which technology serves a major role, not only in the daily routine of the school library, but as an instructional part of the library program. Students have access to a variety of media resources to help them succeed in their learning and have opportunities to develop and foster computer skills to prepare for life's experiences in a technological society.
Shelby County Schools’ libraries are also committed to the free flow of information and ideas and to a cooperative relationship with each other, as well as with other libraries in their communities.
