The Munger Library
Munger Library Mission
Our mission is to provide a diverse and comprehensive range of library services that meet the academic and personal information needs of our community. It is our mission to help ensure that students and staff are effective and ethical users, consumers, and producers of ideas, information, and technology. We aim to empower our learning community to be critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, and lifelong learners. We strive to make our library a welcoming place for students, teachers, and community members. We want our library to flow with innovation, collaboration, curiosity, adaptability, critical inquiry, and transliteracy. We strive to develop a diverse and inclusive collection that is educational and identity-affirming, consisting of multiple modalities to support various learning abilities.
Munger Library Vision
Our vision is that all students from a variety of backgrounds, including, but not limited to, ability, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion, and power-differentiated groups, will have access to quality library programs and services that are tailored to our community and that create new opportunities for all students to promote personal growth, academic success, and career development while linking students and staff to resources and learning opportunities. The vision for Harvard-Westlake Munger Library is to be a diverse, inclusive, and equitable school that flourishes on the exchange of ideas from different perspectives. The diversity of viewpoints from various life experiences, identities, and cultural backgrounds enables the Munger Library to fulfill its mission of supporting all students and staff.
