The mission of the NSBSD Library/Media Center is to make readily available and promote full utilization of all supplementary learning materials, both print and non-print, in order to facilitate the teaching/learning process, and to help each student become an independent, self-motivated learner.

The department provides guidance in program planning, curriculum development, budgeting, and in-service activities. We work in partnership with educators, administrators, parents and community members to provide access to materials in all formats. The center provides a database of the supplementary materials currently available from the NSBSD Library/Media Center. The database can be searched by title, subject, media type, or by using keywords.

For materials not currently owned by the district, we facilitate resource sharing through interlibrary loans as well as through cooperative agreements with the Fairbanks North Star Borough School Library Media Services Department, and the University of Alaska Anchorage Audio Visual Department.
