ASD Libraries Vision and Philosophy

Vision

ASD Libraries serve to inspire and guide students. The libraries provide students with access to information and literature through dynamic virtual and physical spaces. The libraries are a center for collaboration, communication, and innovation.

Purpose Statement

The libraries offer a variety of resources to current ASD students, parents, and employees. We encourage students to become lifelong learners by promoting a love of reading. We collaborate with faculty to teach the skills necessary to meet academic and personal informational needs.

Guiding Principals

  • ASD libraries are safe spaces where the ASD community can be themselves and be welcomed.

  • Patrons have the right to see themselves and discover other perspectives in library books and materials.

  • Patrons follow the ASD Core Values: respect, responsibility, compassion, excellence, and integrity. 

  • Patrons have the right to make responsible personal choices and respect others’ rights to choose their own materials.

  • ASD libraries provide support for development of ASD attributes through resource curation, professional collaboration, and the overall library experience. 

  • The ASD libraries follow the American Library Association Library Bill of Rights.

  • ASD libraries follow the UAE data protection laws.
