School Library Media Programs

Our Vision

WCPS libraries aspire to be flexible, open spaces that are the heart of our schools, led by librarians who celebrate diversity and empower students to become seekers of ideas and information, innovative users of technology, passionate readers, and life-long learners.

Our Mission

WCPS libraries provide equitable, inclusive, safe, and flexible centers of collaborative learning where students can think, create, share, and grow in meaningful ways. Through positive relationships with the school community, school librarians fostera love of literacy, promote ethical practices, advocate for equitable access to diverse resources and technologies, and encourage and inspire future ready learners.

Our Values

Advocacy- WCPS librarians value a diverse and inclusive learning environment led by a librarian who advocates for literacy, equity, access, and creativity.

Relationships- WCPS librarians value positive relationships that serve to establish and sustain our diverse communities, our collections, and our users. We seek to build connections through collaboration.

Empowering Learners- WCPS librarians value empowering students to become life-long learners and readers, as well as critical seekers of information and ideas through teaching and modeling digital citizenship.

Welcoming Environments- WCPS librarians value safe spaces where everyone feels accepted, included, represented, and supported.

Worcester County Media Expo

A Worcester County Public Schools tradition since 1975!

The Worcester County Media Expo celebrates our students’ use of media and technology as a way to meet educational goals and creatively communicate with local and global communities. This annual event takes place in February.

We believe that the Worcester County Media Expo will...

inspire students to try innovative forms of technology as a way to express their talents, knowledge, and understandings.
foster a sense of pride and confidence in their technological skills.
encourage collaboration between students, teachers, parents, and community.
allow community members the opportunity to have a greater understanding of WCPS’s continuing technology goals.
