The mission of the McKenzie Library is to encourage the love of reading, provide access to resources in diverse formats to meet the needs of our students and staff, and ensure they are effective users of information and ideas.

District 39 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 District 39 students and staff.

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

District 39 embraces innovative technologies that promote learning through collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking. Our educational community--students, parents, and teachers--will become critical consumers and creative producers of information in our global society.
