• "What a school thinks about its library
    is a measure of what it feels about education."
    Harold Howe, US Commissioner of Education, 1966-1968

    The essential intent of the School District of the Chathams is to discover and grow the gifts within each child. The library/media program accomplishes this intent by fostering a love of reading and developing information literacy skills which will enable our students to think critically and become ethical and responsible members of society.
