Our Mission

Access to information is a cornerstone of democracy. Moreover, enjoyment of contemporary and classic books, audiovisual items, and other library materials is a worthwhile way to spend leisure time. In fulfilling its role as the primary resource for information, reading, research, and popular media in print, non-print, and electronic formats, the Edith Wheeler Memorial Library serves as the "knowledge navigator" for its community. To accomplish this mission, the library will employ trained staff and offer a wide variety of materials, equipment, services, and programs to support a lifetime of reading, listening, viewing, and learning.
