Library collections should enhance and support the academic and recreational needs of the school community. The library is responsible for providing access to resources that reflect a wide variety of perspectives, encourage critical thinking, and help our students make informed decisions.
The library collection is balanced, representative of the reading community, and aligned with the JIS curriculum. It supports learning and teaching while inspiring and nurturing a lifelong love of reading. The library collections should promote inclusiveness by accepting and valuing different learners’ backgrounds and environments.
Selection
The responsibility for coordinating and recommending the selection and purchase of library resources rests with the librarians. Each item is selected individually for the collection. Data is used to help select a diverse variety of subjects and titles.
