Mission

The Frankenmuth School District Libraries function to meet the curriculum needs of the district and are guided in this role by five core beliefs:

1) Reading is a window to the world.
2) Inquiry provides a framework for learning.
3) Ethical behavior in the use of information must be taught.
4) Technology skills are crucial to future employment needs.
5) Equitable access is a key component for education.
(From the American Association for School Libraries Standards for 21st Century Learners).
