 Welcome to the Pillans Middle School Library

The goals of our Library Media Program are to enable students to:

• Access information through learning activities that are integrated into the curriculum and assist students in becoming information literate;
• Select, retrieve, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, create, and communicate information in all formats and in all content areas of the curriculum;
• Use a range of equipment for accessing local and remote information in any format from within and beyond the library media center and the school through electronic networks; and
• Pursue areas of personal interests through reading and accessing information, thereby becoming lifelong learners and effective, responsible citizens in a democracy.
