About Us

- Securing materials and resources that are beyond the command of the ordinary Library budget
- Informing the public of available resources
- Gathering information and analysis of community needs
- Planning and hosting educational, cultural, and community events
- Contributing to special projects that enhance public enjoyment of the Library
