Western Counties Regional Library believes: that the library's collection, resources, and services should reflect its communities. The library welcomes suggestions and ideas from the public. that the library may encourage life-long learning in many ways: through the introduction of children to books; the support of educational institutions and literacy programs; the provision of information services and current technology; the offering of programming for all ages; and the promotion of recreational reading as a pleasure. that the library should respect the cultures, beliefs, and privacy of individuals. The collection will include a variety of viewpoints, regardless of their popularity. The library supports the Canadian Library Association Statement on Intellectual Freedom. that the collection and service should be available in both French and English languages, and other languages as demand warrants. that it is the library's responsibility to provide an archival repository for books by local authors, as well as material about the area which the library serves. that the library should be a center of activity for the communities which it serves. that the library has a role in the economic and social development of its communities. The library should endeavor to work with both public and private agencies to provide cost-effective and efficient service throughout the region. that the library staff find fulfillment in their work and will provide the public with friendly, non-judgmental, and competent service. that there should be respect and open communication among the staff. Goals should be set and achieved through cooperative efforts of the staff and Board.
