WELCOME TO THE AES LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER

The Athens Elementary School Library provides students, faculty and staff with multi-disciplinary technological databases and print resources, as well as instruction on how to accurately access, utilize and critically analyze information from a variety of venues. We also work to maintain an inviting atmosphere where active learning is paramount.

• Foster a love of reading that renders a positive attitude toward lifelong learning.
• Provide continual instruction and service to all library patrons.
• Select, purchase, organize and maintain quality library collections.
• Offer access to material and information resources.
• Anticipate information needs in an increasingly global community.
• Teach efficient information literacy skills including critical evaluation and effective use of resources.
• Provide leadership in the use of information technology on campus.
• Instruct digital citizenship lessons that includes critical thinking and promotes the safe use of technology.
• Promote diversity, intellectual integrity, and freedom of inquiry and expression.

Students and faculty are encouraged to locate and check out books for assignments and for reading pleasure during their weekly scheduled library time and during our flexible open schedule each day.
