Philosophy
The
philosophy of the Library Media Center at Mount Saint Joseph Academy
reflects the philosophy and mission statement of the school. The
Library Media Center facilitates and supports the total instructional
program of the school while encouraging students to broaden and expand
their learning through the use of modern technology as well as
traditional resources. The librarians strongly encourage the values of
reading and the appropriate use of research materials, both print and
non-print, which can help to develop the potential of young women in
preparation of the future.
