Library Mission Statement
The mission of the Thurman Francis Media Center is to ensure that
students and staff are effective users of ideas and information enabling them to be literate life-
long learners. This mission is accomplished, with sufficient funding and resources, by the school
library staff, the teachers of TFAA in collaboration with the school community:
*by providing instruction to foster competence in acquiring and using information and ideas, and in evaluating information resources;
*by stimulating interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas and appreciation of literature through group instruction and individual guidance;
*by providing intellectual and physical access to materials in multiple formats; and,
*by working with other educators to design and carry out learning experiences and strategies to meet the needs of individual students as it relates to instructional goals and objectives of the curriculum.
