Library+Expectations

BNS/BCS Library Expectations
BNS/BCS Library hopes to select two 11th grade interns per semester.

Student Interns should work in the library for the agreed upon amount of time. They should be dependable and responsible in their assigned tasks.

Student Interns are expected to serve as a positive role model for all patrons of the library. They must have a positive attitude, show good behavior, maintain their coursework, and should uphold the library mission and values.

Student Interns are expected to behave respectfully towards the library, patrons, staff, and materials.

Student Interns should learn how the library operates and teach this knowledge to other students. This includes how to use the catalog and research portal, how to find books on the shelves, and how to treat library materials.

Student interns will be evaluated in terms of their willingness to learn, attitude, and customer service within the library.

Library Philosophy and Mission Statement
The philosophy and mission of the library program matches the philosophy and mission of the diverse school community it serves. **By providing access to information in a variety of formats, we seek to inform and empower staff and students to be effective, critical, analytical, and creative users of ideas and information**. We model life-long learning by engaging in ongoing collaborative, interdisciplinary, and proffessional development, which **challenges staff and students to broaden their interests, and to develop skills in all subjects**. We seek, through curriculum and pedagogy, to model active engagement in a democratic and evolving learning community. 9/15/2010
