In conjunction with the specific purposes and objectives of the school, the Library seeks to build and maintain a program and collection “committed to developing the integration of spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, emotional, cultural and social dimensions within each young man.”Materials of varying levels of difficulty are added to the Library collection in order to meet the needs of all Xaverian students, not just the more advanced students. Also, the Library collection includes materials dedicated to manifesting the school’s Catholic and Xaverian Brothers Sponsored Schools identity as well as to aiding the faculty in continuing their professional growth. The Library collection and program are consistently updated and evaluated in an attempt to keep pace with current trends in information retrieval and resource learning. The Library offers an atmosphere where peaceful decorum and respect for individual rights are valued in an environment matching the ideals of Christian community espoused by the school.
The Library strives to provide print and non-print resources encompassing a variety of viewpoints pertinent for all needs---research, special interest, general information, and pleasure. Providing the opportunity to use a variety of information technologies that store, transmit, and retrieve information, the Library program seeks to assist the student to locate, identify, analyze, and synthesize, evaluate, and communicate information for research and problem-solving tasks and for life-long learning. Through supplying the tools necessary and creating an atmosphere conducive to learning, the Library program challenges patrons to take the knowledge and skills acquired and use them to serve others by being contributing members of society.
