Vision Statement

The library functions as a welcoming civic space and portal of opportunity freely open to people of all ages without discrimination in order to serve community needs for delivery of knowledge, culture, and enjoyment.

The library strives to be a keystone of the community and a cornerstone of the educational system.  It provides innovative programs to bring people together to promote mutual interests and cultivate understanding through awareness of cultural heritage, arts, and sciences.

The library seeks to retain its identity as a repository for knowledge as well as materials unique to the community.  It continually evolves and updates strategies to access information especially in cyberspace.  It provides patrons with access to new tools for acquiring information and fosters development of skills for life-long learning.

The library aims to provide its patrons with outstanding professional services and to expand awareness of its resources through creative presentation of its diverse collections and evolving website.   

The library serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas by facilitating collaborations with educational institutions and community organizations.

The library honors public trust through effective use of public resources and makes every effort to protect the confidentiality and privacy of its users.
