Mission Statement and Values Enriching. Empowering. Evolving. The Winnebago Public Library enriches and empowers residents by providing access to information, ideas and recreation through a variety of well-organized resources and services that evolve with the changing needs of the community. The library supports residents through programming by providing a gathering place and by working cooperatively throughout the community. (Policy Manual 100. Mission, revised April 2013) We welcome all to a comfortable, safe place that provides an open and inviting environment with access to information. We are accountable to our community to operate with transparency, openness, and integrity. We, the library board and staff, strive to work cooperatively to foster responsive, community-focused services. (Policy Manual 100. Mission, revised April 2013)
