This mission is accomplished through a WPS Library curriculum with literary and information literacy benchmarks and by: • Collaborating with the faculty to develop effective learning strategies that address the needs of students in an ever-changing global environment; • Providing instruction to foster research competency and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, using, and producing knowledge and ideas; • Providing guidance and access to informational and recreational materials for the school community.
