Mission & Collections
Mission
The mission of the Media Center is to develop in children an appreciation
for stories and the culture they convey, and to lay a foundation
of enthusiasm for the discovery of knowledge. In
support of this mission the library program:
- exposes children to a variety
of literature representing many cultural voices
- collects and makes available
age appropriate sources of information
- supports curriculum areas
by collaborating with classroom and subject teachers

- models curiosity
and a love of reading.
Library Collection
The library collection includes over 10,000 print volumes of children's
literature (fiction and nonfiction) that support the Olds curricula
in all areas and portray the multicultural nature of our
world. The Library subscribes to several children's magazines as well as
professional journals to keep staff up to date on educational research and
practice.
