The library media program at Nansemond-Suffolk Academy is based on the belief that each student should achieve information literacy, thereby creating a foundation for lifelong learning. The program seeks to guide students in acquiring the skills necessary to effectively access and evaluate information and to become ethical users and producers of this information. In accordance with the philosophy of Nansemond-Suffolk Academy for our students to be well- informed, responsible, and compassionate citizens, the goal is for students not only to satisfy intellectual curiosity through the acquisition of information, but to use the acquired information for problem-solving and for becoming productive contributors to society.
