Library Media

The Baldwin County Public Schools Library Media Handbook is located in "Documents".

The mission of the library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information.  This mission is accomplished by:

• providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats
• providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest
• working with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students 

The school library shall be an instructional media center serving the school community and shall offer a comprehensive program of library services. Library media resources are made available to students and teachers through a systematically developed collection within the school and through access to resources outside the school.  The media specialist plans and works cooperatively with teachers in providing library services and library instruction to students.  The media specialist shall serve as a resource person, working cooperatively with teachers and students on reading guidance for individuals and groups and making available curricular materials.
