Mission Statement of Duvall Library Board (Revised and Adopted 2/27/12)
The Duvall Library Advisory Board, as chartered by the City of Duvall, supports free and equal access to books and material for the
enlightenment and pleasure of the community. We support the library's mission to create and maintain an enthusiasm for reading and
promote the use of its collections and online sources of information and materials.
Underlying Principles:
- Advise KCLS on the interests and concerns of the City of Duvall.
- Advise the City Council on the status, needs and performance of the Duvall Library.
- Serve as a forum for community input on library issues.
- Support reading and literacy. Ensure unencumbered access to books, reference materials and computers to all patrons.
- Support and protect the constitutional rights for privacy and the communication and expression of ideas by all.
Goals for 2012-2013
- Develop a training package for the orientation of new Board members.
- Advocate for standardized hours of operation.
- Encourage continuance of user-friendly and intimate atmosphere.
- Endorse sufficient areas for research, study, children's programs, meetings and other community activities and
further ensure that these areas are designed to minimize noise and interruptions.
- Promote celebration of the cultural and historical heritage of Duvall in the new library.
- Support initiatives to increase use of library by all segments of community.
- Increase familiarity with staff and have a (casual) onsite presence.
- Encourage DFOL in their programming support efforts.
