Vision and Mission
The Ashburton Elementary School Media Center is an essential part of a high quality education. The Media Center embraces its responsibility to promote the value of all libraries and is focused on providing a safe, respectful, responsible, and welcoming environment for staff, students, and the community.
Our mission is to prepare students to become independent critical readers, thinkers, and ethical information users. We encourage and foster the love of reading. We are dedicated to providing equitable access to information in multiple formats that develops the information literacy skills of our lifelong learners.
