Media Center

The UHS Library’s mission:

Library media centers are places where people can build their 21st century literacy skills, including:

  • Learning how to read
  • Learning to use computers and other media
  • Learning how to find, evaluate, and use information
  • Learning how to use information to communicate.

"The mission of the library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of resources, ideas and information and to promote in our youth the powers of literacy and competencies to function effectively in the workplace of the 21st century. This mission recognizes the essential role of the school library media program in the educational process as a catalyst for all academic instruction and a dynamic force for excellence in education."

"Library Media Program--Catalyst for Efficient Implementation of Core Curriculum Content Standards, K-12", Emanations. New Jersey: Winter, 1998
