BJHS LMC Mission Statement

Our LMC includes an organized collection of resources available to students and staff to supplement classroom instruction, foster reading for pleasure, enhance information literacy, and support research, as appropriate to students of all abilities in the grade levels.  We strive to include our patrons and teachers in the collection development process.  It is our belief that, as Roudine Bishop states - 

"Books are sometimes windows, offering views of worlds that may be real or imaged, familiar or strange. These windosw are also sliding glass doors, and readers have only to walk through in imagination to become part of whatever world has been created or recreated by the author.  When lighting conditions are just right, however, a window can also be a mirror. Literature transforms human experience and reflects it badk to us, an in that reflection we can see our own lives and experiences as part of a larger human experience."
