GPISD Library Policy and Procedures
Building an effective library media program depends on many things—administrative support, collaboration with all members of the learning community, clear goals and objectives for the program, communication with stakeholders, and consistency in the program administration. A policy and procedures manual assists library media specialists in the effort to achieve all these things.
We will ensure student success through engaging learning experiences, collaborative leadership, and a focus on maximizing student achievement.
