MISSION The CHILI PUBLIC LIBRARY, using its own resources and those of the Monroe County Library System, provides materials and services to assist community residents in meeting their personal, educational, professional and recreational information needs. The Library places special emphasis on assisting students and on stimulating the enthusiasm of young children for reading and learning.
The CHILI PUBLIC LIBRARY, through its staff and Board of Trustees, will maintain an innovative, cost-effective and responsible group of services and materials in order to meet its objectives and to provide its patrons with convenient and maximum opportunity for self-service.
The CHILI PUBLIC LIBRARY supports the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights and the Freedom to Read Statement. This mission statement is the CHILI PUBLIC LIBRARY’S declaration of its basic philosophy. It serves as the foundation for the goals and objectives, which the Board of Trustees may periodically establish and provides the staff with the guidance for long-range planning.
