Libraries Inspire

U46 Library Mission Statement

As an integral part of the educational program of School

District U-46, it is the mission of the library to provide the learning community with a broad range of print and electronic materials, build information literacy skills, support library and classroom curriculum, foster a love of reading, and to encourage

life-long learning.

Students now encounter information in formats as simple as the picture book, as diverse as the classics, and as complex as the library web site. The information explosion has provided countless opportunities for students and has dramatically altered the abilities they will need to live in the 21st century.

Creating a foundation for lifelong learning is at the heart of the

U-46 school library program.
