Mission Statement

The Vision

The Avalon Free Public Library will serve as the informational and cultural Gateway to Avalon for all residents and visitors. The library will be a welcoming, warm and friendly gathering space for all.

The Mission

The Avalon Free Public Library encourages a literate and informed community by providing free and open access to first class collections, services and programs that inspire, inform and enrich our community.

The Strategic Plan

Our Strategic Plan (download as PDF file) was adopted in 2006. In 2008, with 2 years experience, a revision of the Strategic Plan (PDF file) was adopted which provides a guide for library development through 2011. For an understanding of the progress being made and the issues the library faces click here for a presentation (PDF file) that was originally given in Power Point to the Borough Council, Library Board of Trustees, and a community held at the library on October 25, 2007.
