Vision Statement

In collaboration with each school’s learning community, the Lee County Schools Library Media Program will be the center of teaching and learning by providing equitable and intellectual access to informational resources and tools that are required for student success by extending and providing an accessible and inviting environment to all stakeholders involved in the learning process.

Mission Statement

The school library media program is at the core of effective learning and plays a vital role in curriculum development and student achievement. The mission of the Lee County Schools Library Media Program is to assist students and teachers in becoming effective users of ideas and information.  This mission will be accomplished by

• providing up-to-date, high quality, continuously accessible resources in a variety of formats which enrich student learning and improved achievement for all students.
• structuring learning experiences across the curriculum to ensure that learners will be able to independently inquire, locate, analyze, share, and create new knowledge.
• providing leadership, instruction, and consulting assistance in the design of learning strategies and the use of information technology.
• collaborating with other educators to design learning strategies and skills needed for both lifelong learning and lifelong reading. 

Hours: The media center is open for student use from 7:10 AM until 3:00 PM central time each day, Monday through Friday.

Students are required to have a library pass if they come to the library unaccompanied by a teacher during regular school hours.

"The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."  ~ Dr. Seuss

Libraries are cornerstones of the schools and communities they serve. Libraries are a source of entertainment and education for students as well as adults.

A library not only helps to instill the habit of reading but instills a thirst for knowledge.

The Smiths Station Junior High School Library Media Center is a wonderful place that contributes to the learning process of your child.  It is where they can get away from the noise of the world and create their own world. Walking through this library opens up many kinds of opportunities.  It is a place where they can sit down and read a book, do research, study, and create in our makerspace area.
