The goals of the Committee and the Library Board are to ensure that taxpayer's money is spent judiciously, that our residents receive the library service that they deserve and desire, and that the library grow to become a place that is not only a source of pride, but also an invaluable resource and asset for the community.

3. Create report for the Board of Trustees on needs

4. Future Goals and Objectives:
