Our Mission
We cultivate curious, critical, and compassionate readers who can locate, evaluate, and create information in any format. Weekly lessons weave together Missouri Library Standards, digital-citizenship protocols, and project-based research so Bulldogs leave elementary school ready to thrive in middle-school makerspaces and beyond.
Bottom line: Whether your child is chasing the next graphic-novel binge, coding a micro:bit, or debating which Mark Twain nominee deserves the trophy, Dogwood’s Library Media Center is the launchpad. We can’t wait to help every Bulldog find—then share—the stories that matter most.
