The Board believes that instructional media centers/libraries are fundamental to the educational process. The availability of many materials in a variety of formats presents to students and teachers the possibility of selecting the media best suited for individual need and mode of learning.
Therefore, the schools of the system shall maintain instructional media centers/libraries where students and staff members are exposed to a variety of books, periodicals, and references in printed form as well as to a variety of technology based materials such as videos, CD-ROMS, laser discs, and Internet access. Provision will be made to enable school libraries to remain open for use by students during the school day.
It will be the administration's responsibility to set up and maintain central services for teacher access to curriculum materials, and audiovisual materials.
