Austin Elementary

The Mission of the Harlingen CISD Library Services Department is to ensure that students and staff have access to a broad range of materials, whether it be print or electronic, for pleasure reading & information needs. As well, Library Services assists students and staff in becoming ethical and effective users of information, resources, and ideas that will enable them to be lifelong learners.

Harlingen CISD will offer a multifaceted, digitally rich learning environment to create equitable and relevant opportunities for students to develop into collaboratively creative lifelong learners. This will provide our students with the critical thinking skills to become college ready citizens that are poised for global success.
