The Library and Media Services for the Centerville City Schools are delivered through the Instructional Materials Center (IMC) in each building and the Central Resource Center.

Mission Statement: It is the mission of the Instructional Materials Centers (IMC) of the Centerville City Schools to promote the following:

• Choice, use, and evaluation when locating information.
• Learning general strategies rather than the use of specific tools.
• Involving students in their own learning.
• Use of multiple resources in a variety of formats both within and outside the walls of a particular library media center.
• Personal growth through voluntary reading.
• Care for shared resources.
