Kinlaw Library

Mission Statement

Kinlaw Library has a job to do

The goal of the Kinlaw Library is to provide resources, services, and facilities designed to meet the educational, curricular and research needs of students, faculty, and staff. At the heart of Asbury College is the teaching and learning process. The Library's role is to enhance that process through acquiring, organizing, preserving, and providing access to resources. The Library also contributes to that process by providing a learner-centered environment, instruction, and services to foster the development of information skills that are critical to independent intellectual inquiry and lifelong learning. The Library encourages the student to be committed to truth, to regard the pursuit of knowledge as a life-long process, to respect sound scholarship and the wisdom that comes from experience, and to be critically active in the learning process.
