Mission:

The mission of Ponca Carnegie Library is to serve the community of Ponca and its surrounding area, and the public in general as a resource center for information, education, culture, and leisure and in so doing to enhance and enrich the lives of the public and especially Ponca citizens.

By collecting, organizing, making accessible, and disseminating both traditional printed materials and a wide variety of contemporary print and non-print resources, and technological resources, the Library performs the vital service of helping citizens to be well informed, make decisions, cultivate the imagination, accomplish self-improvement, entertain themselves, improve the quality of leisure time, and acquire the life-long enjoyment of reading. To better accomplish this mission, the Ponca Carnegie Library strives to promote the use of these resources and to respond to community needs through its services and programs.
