About Us

Mission Statement

The mission of the Peaster ISD school library is to be a commons area where students and staff can engage in reading, research, innovative thinking, problem solving, and collaboration.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to provide a welcoming space where students and staff can access printed and online materials. We strive to keep our collection current and provide many different resources to help students across the curriculum. We see our space as a commons area for each campus, providing a place where students can collaborate, problem solve, create, explore, and, of course, read. We always promote the necessity of reading, but we also encourage a love of reading. Our daily goal is to connect the right book to the right student in order that they experience the thrill of a story and develop a love for lifelong reading. 

Culture Statement

The library space and resources are here for the support of all students and staff. We strive to create a welcoming environment that is accessible for all. We continually work to build an unbiased, diverse collection that is relevant, useful, supports learning, and fosters a love of reading. The library is a safe space that encourages thinking, creativity, and collaboration and promotes the free and open exchange of information and ideas.
