The mission of the North Lamar High School
Media Center is to support and enhance the research, informational, reading,
viewing and instructional needs of both students and staff in accordance with
the North Lamar ISD curricula and the Texas Education Agency.
We strive to meet these needs by
acquiring, maintaining, and providing access to a diverse array of resources in
