Goals of the Media Program: Click here to be directed to the media center.
The aim of the NAHS Media Center is to serve as an integral support component of the total educational program. The overall purpose of the media center is to provide necessary and essential information as well as produce effective library users. It is our goal to assist learners, facilitators/staff, and community members in retrieving information and in becoming effective users of the media center. We provide access to technology, print, and e-resources to support the curricular needs of our students and staff. We collaborate with teachers on instructional initiatives, teach information literacy skills in the context of the curriculum, and promote reading for information and pleasure.
