The Senn Library

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

- Information Power, 1998.

We fulfill our mission through collection development that supports the school's curriculum and encourages a collaborative partnership with colleagues. The library program provides and promotes access to resources in print, online subscription databases, audio-visuals, online resources, and information literacy instruction that is integrated through collaborative planning with teachers. We design, integrate and implement lessons together to improve student achievement.
