The Longfellow Media Center ascribes to the NPS Library Media Program Mission Statement:

The mission of the Norman Public Schools Library Media Program is to create lifelong readers who are effective and efficient consumers of information and knowledge. To accomplish this mission school librarians work collaboratively with teachers and others to integrate information literacy skills with classroom content. Library media programs provide intellectual and physical access to materials in a variety of formats. A partnership is essential to the success of this mission. It requires the active involvement and support of the administration, teachers and and school community.
