Avon Library & Media

"The library as the heart of the school..."

--Thomas B. Portwood, May 1936

Across the district, our school libraries and makerspaces serve around 4,500 students and 500 staff members each year.

Our mission is to instill a love of reading while also supporting curriculum and inspiring lifelong learning across subject areas.

To meet that goal, we promote joyful reading, nurture curiosity, encourage critical thinking, develop effective research skills, and uphold ethical use of information as we read, explore, learn, and create.
