Warren-Trumbull County Public Library Mission

The Warren-Trumbull County Public Library links people and ideas by providing resources and services to all members of the community.

WE BELIEVE

Access to information and ideas in all forms is a fundamental right of individuals in a democratic society and that such knowledge empowers them.

That children are our future and the library should assist them to grow and develop by providing materials in many formats.

That fundamental to any library's mission is the preservation of our past, enhancement of the present and enrichment of the future.

The library has a role in promoting literacy, which provides people opportunity to participate in informed decision-making.

In the Library Bill of Rights which promotes intellectual freedom.

In the encouragement of life long learning.

Access to our library's services and resources should not be restricted in any way by the user's age, class, race or gender.
