Providence Library Mission Statement

The library supports the mission of Providence Catholic School by providing access to information in varied formats, including traditional resources and new technologies. These resources both support and integrate into the school’s total curriculum.

The librarian provides instruction and guidance in research, recreational and school-assigned reading, and in the acquisition of personal knowledge by students and school personnel.

The library houses thousands of volumes, in addition to a computer lab that is used to access the riches of world knowledge, including subscriptions to the databases deemed most valuable in middle, high school and college-preparatory education. Hours of operation extend well before and after the school day in order for Provets to take advantage of valuable knowledge and the computer lab for the completion of class assignments.

"To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize when information is needed, and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information…Ultimately, information literate people are those who have learned how to learn." –American Library Association Report on Information Literacy.
