Philosophy and Vision

Our philosophy for the media center is that it should first and foremost be a safe and friendly environment for all who visit. We believe that the media center is the central hub of learning in the school and therefore it should be a comfortable place to visit and seek information. We believe that the availability and accessibility of information is vital in achieving a highly valued program. In addition, we hold firm to the belief that reading forms the foundation for which every other subject can be learned. As students become more literate, they also become more knowledgeable in seeking information.

Based on these beliefs, our mission as Spring Day Middle School's Media Specialists is to help students become more skilled in locating, evaluating, and utilizing information efficiently and effectively. In addition, we hope to instill a love and appreciation of reading/literature by making our collection interesting and up-to-date as well as promote reading through various reading programs.
