The Thomas Lafionatis Library*

Mission Statement: The primary objective of the Nashoba Valley Technical High School Library Media Technology Center is to enrich and support the academic and technical programs of the school. It is the goal of the school library media program to make available, through the school library media collection, a wide range of print and electronic resources on varying levels of difficulty with a diversity of appeal compatible with the different needs, interests, and viewpoints of students and teachers. In achieving this goal, we hope to create a community of lifelong learners who are prepared for their future success in a technological world.
