Nissitissit Library Media Center Vision

The vision of the Nissitissit Library Media Center is to enhance the quality of student lives and to contribute to their becoming life-long learners who can locate, evaluate, use, and create information. Each student will have the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to be successful participants in a democracy.

Nissitissit Library Media Center Mission

Our mission is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of information and ideas. The mission is accomplished by providing:

 Nissitissit Library Media Center Policies

Loan Periods
Books and periodicals circulate for a period of three weeks. Some reference materials circulate for one week or overnight.

Student Checkouts
To check out a book you must first enter your student ID number into the computer and see your name, before scanning in the book’s barcode number on the back. Students can checkout up to three items provided they have no overdue items.

Book Returns
Place the book in the book return bin at the end of the circulation desk.
Books must be scanned into the computer in order to remove them from your name. Do not put books on the circulation desk or on the rolling book cart that have not been checked in. They will be put back on the shelves and they are still under your name!

Student Sign-in and Hall Passes
Students are required to sign-in and out at the circulation desk in the sign-in notebook. Students must also check in with an adult upon entering the library. Computers may not be used without adult supervision and students may not remain in the library unless an adult is present.

  • Collaboration with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students
  • Instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas
  • Intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats
  • A program with the appropriate staff, budget, and facility that meets the information literacy needs of the school community

  • The library is a calm quiet room—keep voices low.
  • Respect the rights of others to read and work.
  • Respect your Library’s resources, furniture and computers.
  • Be responsible—arrive with a purpose—to read, to checkout materials, to use the computers or to look for information.
  • Be tolerant of the differences among us.
