Happy Holidays! Have you had a chance to see access the information on the Library website yet this year? We have information about the latest reads, research databases, digital citizenship, and even a video streaming service! http://www.rtsd.org/domain/190
Digital Citizenship lessons take place throughout the year, covering topics such as digital footprint, online cruelty, and online privacy. Please find information that we cover, as well as Family Tip Sheets, on the Library website.
New November library materials are posted this month to our LibGuide: http://rtsd.libguides.com/newlibraryitems. Be sure to check out all of the wonderful materials that your library has to offer.
In November, our Students Helping Students Club held a successful Book and Supply Drive for our partner school in South Philadelphia, The GW Childs School. Thank you for all of your support in helping these K-8 students have what they need to help their education.

Mission and Philosophy
Mission
The library media center is central to the learning process occurring in schools. Its program is designed to produce students who are information literate. Information literate students are effective users of information in a variety of formats. The school library media center is the vehicle that provides opportunities for students to attain information literacy and to foster a lifelong interest in acquiring knowledge while following their passions. A student-centered program is dependent upon a school librarian assuming a pivotal role in working collaboratively with teachers, administrators, and others direct to the program.
Philosophy
The school library media program in the Radnor Township School District will prepare students for their roles in the technology-driven global community of the 21st century by teaching students to find and use information efficiently and effectively. The library program will help students develop lifelong reading and learning skills and the motivation to take responsibility for their own learning.
