Mission
-
The Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic School Library strives to enrich the student’s learning experience and faculty's educational endeavors by providing a diverse and multifaceted collection of quality materials to meet the varying needs of all our patrons. Besides striving to instill a permanent love of reading, our library aims to be a place where students can: collaborate, innovate, research, solve problems, work as a team, learn social responsibility, share knowledge, transform, empower and lift one another up in God’s name. With this in mind, the Library will consistently endeavor to be a Catholic Learning Commons which supports the student body, their families and the faculty in the pursuit of lifelong learning.
