The mission of the Trenton Elementary School Library Media Center is to inspire a love of reading while supporting both the school's curriculum as well as the ongoing development of 21st century skills in a safe, nurturing environment which will empower students so they may successfully seek information and ideas for their educational, informational, and recreational needs. The library media center seeks to promote an appreciation of literature and technology resource experiences enabling students to interpret meaning from various forms of literature and technology as they become lifelong readers and learners. This mission recognizes the essential role of the school library media center and program in the educational process as students reach their full potential. Trenton Elementary School’s Library Media Center is an integral part of the school community by supporting the curriculum needs of students, teachers, and parents, guiding them to use information effectively, creatively, and responsibly. Students not only check out books and learn to love to read, but also to collaborate, research, and enhance their critical thinking skills.

The primary goal of the Library Media Center collection development is to build and maintain a current collection that supports the needs of the school's curriculum and its school community with various reading levels, languages, and cultural diversity by continually evaluating and updating its size, age, and access with special emphasis on nonfiction, poetry, multi-cultural, and high interest books.
