Vision Statement: What we do
We are a beacon of literacy to all who seek knowledge and understanding. We are compassionate navigators to the information, resources, and entertainment you seek. We are your library.
Guiding Principles
Intellectual Freedom: We are committed to the free and open exchange of ideas. We facilitate your access to information free of judgment.
“Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me.” – Judy Blume
Privacy: We protect your information and your right to privacy.
“Privacy is essential to the exercise of free speech, free thought, and free association. Lack of privacy and confidentiality chills people’s choices, thereby suppressing access to ideas.” – American Library Association
Equity: Our Library is for everyone. You are welcome here.
“We contribute to a more just society in which all community members can realize their full potential.” – Urban Libraries Council
