Mission: To complement the school in encouraging and preparing students to become life-long learners, teaching them to effectively navigate and synthesize information, by offering a variety of informational formats and media, quality instruction, and a safe and comfortable environment.
I decided to revise my mission statement in my previous post after our class discussion last week. The concern was raised of whether having a mission statement alienated the school library from the rest of the school. So, in my new mission statement, I tried to make it clear that the school library is working with the school as part of the school. But I'm still not sure if mentioning this helps the situation any - it might just make it worse.
I also dropped the collaboration statement at the end, because it was awkward and related more to the librarian than the students.
I like the way you included the school, and saying that you're complementing it conveys the idea that you're working with the teachers and administrators. You also talk about all the roles and formats--basically, you cover everything in one sentence!
