Brandywine Community Library

The primary objective of the school’s library media center is to implement, enrich, and support the educational program of the school. The centers offer enrichment for students and resource materials for the faculty. It is the duty of the centers to provide a wide range of materials on all levels of difficulty, with a diversity of appeal, and the presentation of different points of view.

To this end, the Board of Education of Brandywine Heights Area School District endorses the principles set forth in the American Association of School Librarians School Library Bill of Rights for School Library Media Programs, a copy of which is appended to and made a part of this policy.
