Mission of Library Program

In support of the St.John XXIII College Preparatory mission, the library program’s mission is to assist students and faculty in a life of service to God, family, and community by providing access to ideas and information.

The program aims to help each student excel and achieve maximum potential by creating a 21st Century learning environment, fostering a love of reading, and promoting the effective use of information and communications technology.

Through collaboration, the librarian partners with the larger St. John XXIII community to empower students to become life-long learners, responsible citizens, and industrious problem solvers.
