Philosophy

The Library Media Center provides a program that supports, complements, and expands the instructional practices of Depew High School. The LMC mission is to foster a positive environment that encourages inquiry and discovery through the use of organized, accessible resources.  The services provided promote extensive use of multi-media resources that are designed to meet the varying needs of all learners in all aspects of the curriculum. The LMC strives to foster a learning environment which promotes inquiry, stimulates intellectual curiosity, encourages pleasure reading, and develops diverse interests for the enjoyment of life-long learning. The program teaches students to be independent lifelong seekers of knowledge, successful, self-aware learners who are capable of information retrieval, and who value libraries and learning.
