Vision & Values

Our Vision: Connecting students with the future of libraries & information

The Library Monitor Association (LMA) envisions school libraries that are welcoming, organized, and supportive environments for learning. We believe that students can play a meaningful role in supporting library operations and improving the experience of those who use them. Our vision is to encourage responsible student participation in library support services, while fostering respect for knowledge, cooperation, and a culture of learning within school communities. Through collaboration, initiative, and dedication to service, we aim to help libraries remain spaces where students can study, explore ideas, and access information comfortably and efficiently. This approach allows us to maintain a consistent and standardized structure for our services while ensuring compliance with the regulations and expectations of each institution in which we operate.

Dedication to Service

We are committed to assisting libraries and their users through practical support, organization, and care for library resources.

Respect for Learning

Libraries represent knowledge and discovery. We value the role libraries play in education and strive to uphold environments that support study and intellectual curiosity.

Responsibility

Members of the LMA (LMA Staff) carry out their duties with care, reliability, and integrity, understanding the trust placed in them by the school community.

Cooperation & Kindess

The LMA operates through teamwork and collaboration, working respectfully with teachers, students, and school administration.

Imagination & Humanity

We prove that magnificent and remarkable things can be done by children, and that imagination is a step forwards to success. Everything we do, we do it with Humanity and Compassion.

Students First. Always

We believe students can contribute positively to their learning environments by participating in meaningful service and taking initiative in improving their school communities.
