Mission Statement

OUR VISION

         ∞         Providing a collection of material in a wide variety of formats.

         ∞         Building partnerships with other organizations to create a network of resources.

 

Our mission is to:

         ∞         Employ a collaborative, creative and positive staff focused on service to the public.

         ∞         Invite active participation, discussion and consideration for services and structure.

         ∞         Value our staff and encourage continuing education opportunities.
