Mission Statement

Philosophy
The Evella S. Brown Media Center at Todd-Grant Elementary provides all members of the school community with access to information, reading and research assistance, and instruction that supports the curricula and educational goals of our school. Integration of the Library Media Center Program with the curricula fosters a partnership with teachers and ensures that information skills are an integral part of learning so that students will be able to function successfully in the information society. The Library Media program extends and enhances classroom experiences and stimulates the development of a lifelong love and appreciation of reading and learning.

The Library Media Specialist plays a critical role in the introduction of new learning technologies, support of the curriculum, and the teaching of information skills in a positive learning environment in which all students can become independent, lifelong learners.
