Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Roosevelt High School library media program is to promote literacy and ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. The school library exists to empower students to be critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, skillful researchers, and ethical users of information. Our primary purpose is to support the academic and personal development of lifelong learners and enlivened, engaged citizens. In addition, we posit the library as the vital literary arts center of the school.
Do you know that libraries and librarians are all about intellectual freedom?
Banned Books Week recognizes the work libraries do to give you access to what you want to read.
This year, it's September 22-29th.
We've got a cart of challenged titles so curious readers can easily puruse, and we'll give away a button for any patron who checks one out.
Meanwhile, if you want to know what titles were challenged this year, find 'em here:
