The mission of the Eleftheriades Library is to educate and to empower our students to achieve their full potential and to become active readers, independent thinkers, information literate lifelong learners and responsible citizens. In partnership with teachers, we will provide a stimulating and positive environment which will enhance the curriculum and school programs. We will do so by building strong, relevant collections by incorporating new technologies and pedagogies to support teaching, learning and engagement. We will also deepen our relationship with the Anatolia communities with a commitment to preserve and develop our special collections.
