Professional Philosophy
I will ensure that I deliver students, faculty, and members of the community with materials that will allow them to become lifelong learners. I will create a warm and inviting learning environment where a love for reading can flourish. Rules will be established to ensure a safe learning environment for all patrons. I will promote intellectual freedom by allowing patrons of the library a diverse selection from which patrons can self-select materials. I will develop a collection that will meet the needs of diverse populations. I will fulfill the roles of the media specialist to the best of my ability, and I will fulfill the duties assigned by my administration. I will collaborate with fellow staff members to integrate 21st century standards into the curriculum, and will serve as a fundamental catalyst in student learning and achievement. I will be knowledgeable of curriculum standards across grade levels to meet student and staff needs to the best of my ability. I will be a facilitator of professional development within the school, and promote learning for all patrons of the media center. Promoting reading will be my main priority, and I will work diligently to ensure that I am making a difference to every patron of the media center.
