Mission Statement
The mission of the Solomon Wright Public Library is to promote the joys and benefits of lifelong learning by providing access to information through a range of media, currently popular books and classics in an easily accessible and comfortable facility. In keeping with the need for technical competence, the library will also strive to maintain up-to-date computers and internet access for public use. The library will provide welcoming meeting space for local public service groups and offer a variety of opportunities for personal growth.
Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy,
where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.
