Mission Statement of the Newark Public Library

The Mission of the Newark Public Library is to provide equal access to information, in any and all formats, and the opportunity for knowledge so that people of all ages may seek education, social and cultural growth, supporting the primary Constitutional right of intellectual freedom. The library encourages the free flow of ideas necessary to a democratic society so that citizens may make informed choices about their personal lives, their groups activities and associations and their government. By means of collection and organization of materials, reader's advisory service, programs of interest to specific groups and reference and referral assistance, the Newark Public Library seeks to educate, inform, enrich and entertain the citizens of the Newark Community. The Newark Library serves all people without regard for age, sex, religious or ethnic background, political affiliation, educational ability or economic status.

Life is an adventure - our mission is to help you find it.
