The mission of Lamar Consolidated ISD Librarians is to create a physical and digital environment in which our students, staff, and community can strengthen their natural inquisitive nature, foster a love of reading, and serve as a collaborative resource for teachers and staff in developing and delivering powerful learning experiences across all curricular areas.

It is the goal and vision of Bentley's Library Media Program to:

• provide an attractive, welcoming environment.
• provide a well-organized and comprehensive collection that meets the needs of the faculty and student body.
• encourage collaboration between the media specialist and faculty to integrate information, media literacy, and technology skills into all curricular areas.
• maintain a collection that is continually assessed and plan steps for changes and improvements.
• insure that the media program and its services are meeting the needs of both the faculty and the students.

Library volunteers are an essential and valuable part of our library program. They help to run the circulation desk, label and shelve books, and allow the librarian to devote more time to teach children the valuable skills of enjoying literature and becoming information masters. 

Please contact Mrs. Cortez if you are interested in volunteering.
