What We Believe
Books and other sources of information provide Endless PAWSibilities for learning for all patrons.
The media center is the heart of PAWSibilities and is an important part of our school culture.
Media centers are calm, relaxing places where people can go to learn, think, and just BE.
We strive to create an atmosphere where this is PAWSible for ALL patrons.
Vision
To match the perfect resource (whether it be print, digital, time, people, or space) with every single patron on every single visit to the City Park Media Center.
Mission
To give access to accurate information to as many patrons as possible and equip them to determine truth from “untruth”.
Beliefs
There is a perfect book or resource for every learner.
All patrons have choice in what they read.
This is the place where choice, authenticity, protection, and ultimately, engagement, abounds.
