Purpose of Library
OBJECTIVES
GENERAL PURPOSE
The library aims to provide the highest quality user-oriented public library service which will effectively contribute to the development of our area through the utilization of the broad range of contemporary media and technology, and thus serve the information and recreational reading needs of all people of the community, regardless of race, religion, sex, creed, or age.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Emphasize service to those library users whose needs are not the primary responsibility of other institutions in the area.
Identify the informational and material needs the library can fulfill, and, when appropriate, provide referral services to other agencies.
Participate in cooperative informational services, networks, and systems in local, state, regional, and national bases in order to develop maximum, efficient, and economic library services.
Determine the public library’s responsibility to students enrolled in educational institutions at all levels in our area as the public library is the logical center for independent self-learning.
Develop a diversified public relations program which will generate increased library usage, support all facets of library service, and result in increased understanding and good will. Continue to extend public library activities within our service area through a system of mobile units and individual and group related services and programs.
Cooperate with the staff of community agencies in order to inform them about library services and materials useful to them and the people they serve.
Select and organize print and non-print materials significant to the people of this area.
Give guidance in the use of library materials and resources toward meeting the needs of people individually and in groups, and of organizations.
Cooperate with groups and agencies in stimulating and supporting educational, cultural, and social awareness activities in the community, and to provide leadership in the search for solutions to area problems.
