The American
Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for
information and ideas, and that the following basic policies
should guide their services.
I. Books and other library
resources should be provided for the interest, information,
and enlightenment of all people of the community the
library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the
origin, background, or views of those contributing to their
creation.
II. Libraries should provide
materials and information presenting all points of view on
current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed
or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
III. Libraries should challenge
censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to
provide information and enlightenment.
IV. Libraries should cooperate
with all persons and groups concerned with resisting
abridgment of free expression and
free access to ideas.
V. A person’s right to use a
library should not be denied or abridged because of origin,
age, background, or views.
VI. Libraries which make exhibit
spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve
should make such facilities available on an equitable basis,
regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or
groups requesting their use.

Junior
High Library Mission Statement
The Mission of the
Riverglen Junior High School Library Media Program is to encourage the
students and staff to be effective users of ideas and information, and
to foster a love of reading.
This mission is accomplished:
by providing intellectual and
physical access to materials in all formats
by providing instruction to foster
competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing and using information and ideas and
by working with other educators to
design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students.
Adapted from AASL and AECT
1988/98 as published in Information Power: Building Partnerships for
Learning.
"Today this mission focuses on
offering programs and services that are centered on information
literacy and that are designed around active, authentic student
learning as described in information literacy standards for student
learning."
These goals, in summary, are:
1. To provide intellectual access
to information through learning activities integrated into the
curriculum and develop student abilities to access, think through and
communicate information in all formats and content areas.
2. To provide physical access to
information through
a. maintaining a local collection
and
b. maintaining access to sources
outside the media center.
3. To provide learning experiences
that encourage students to be "discriminating consumers" and "skilled
creators" of information.
4. To help teachers and others
plan effectively for media and information instruction activities.
5. To encourage lifelong learning
and reading for pleasure.
6. To provide a program that
functions as the information center of the school with integrated and
interdisciplinary learning activities in school and access to
additional information beyond the program.
7. To provide a broad range of
resources and diverse perspectives in support of intellectual freedom
and responsible citizenship, both prerequisites to maintaining
democracy.
