Welcome to all.

 

Vision Statement: What we do

My library champions discovery, builds connections, and strengthens community.

 

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
