Peeples Library Media Center

Mission

The mission of the JPSD Library Media Program is to build a literacy foundation that will enable and empower its scholars to transition into life-long learners. The program will provide scholars the opportunity to be part of our vastly developing world through books, authentic learning experiences, resources from all points of views and cohesiveness with the district’s curriculum goals, objectives, and values.

Vision

All JPSD libraries will be the chief academic respondent to literacy, research and writing.
