The mission of the Hodges Elementary school library is to create a welcoming environment that inspires students to become lifelong learners, creates effective users and producers of information, fosters a love of reading, and encourages problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration.

The Hodges Elementary school library strives to be a 21st Century learning environment that fosters global learning and collaboration. The library program works to enhance academic achievement by integrating a curriculum that supports the school curriculum and providing a diverse collection that represents the school community.

The Hodges Elementary Library believes inclusion plays a vital role in student growth. We are committed to providing a safe and equitable learning environment that fosters a mindset of empathy, respect, and belonging for all Hodges students and staff.

By respecting each person’s unique identity, perspective, and learning style, we create a stronger community. We honor differences including races, cultures, abilities, aspirations, identities and affiliations, socioeconomics and worldviews. Embracing diversity prepares our students to thrive in an increasingly complex global community.
