Our Mission

The Mission of the Newington Public Schools Library Media Department is to ensure every student acquires the knowledge, skills and attitudes to be independent, effective, and ethical users of information. The library media program is designed to develop the lifelong habits of reading, pursuing information, and creating and sharing ideas. This is accomplished in a dynamic physical and virtual space that provides equitable and timely access to resources.
