Library Media Center Mission
The Library Media Center is integral to the mission of Saint Patrick Catholic School. Every domain in the “Grad at Grad” calls upon the student’s ability to research, evaluate, and use information for problem solving through available resources, media, and technology. The Library Media Center at Saint Patrick Catholic School is fundamental in providing students with the resources and practice to acquire the lifelong characteristics, abilities, and skills of an information literate citizen.
