Mission
The mission of the library foundation is to enhance the life of the community by providing the resources essential for appropriate and proactive response to emerging community education needs and issues.
Purpose
The purpose of the library foundation is to receive and expend tax-deductible gifts for specific short-term projects consistent with the foundation's stated mission, and to establish and administer a library endowment to fund expansion of existing library programs and services as well as new services and programs that address critical community library needs.
Needs Assessment & the Planning Process
Continuous community library needs assessment is central to the foundation's mission and purpose. The foundation will provide the support for this process to develop, implement, and complete ongoing library planning cycles.
Community Presence
A strong and meaningful presence in all geographic and socioeconomic areas of the community will continue to be a challenge as the library serves a growing and complex community from one library facility. Foundation funding can guarantee a strong and meaningful community presence for the library.
Service to Diverse Populations
Diversity resulting from ethnic, cultural, and language differences, as well as people with physical challenges is a growing challenge for our community. Foundation funding can guarantee excellent library service to diverse populations.
