About the Abernethy School Library 

The Abernethy School Library Media Program seeks to provide students with equitable access to information through the teaching of information literacy skills, a 21st century learning environment, and the promotion of lifelong learning. The library endeavors to be a collaborative learning space where students can both access and create information. Support for the Abernethy community is prioritized in the development of a representative collection and collaboration with grade level teachers. The library strives to produce creative, respectful students with an appreciation for literature and strong critical thinking skills.
