AC Library's New Mission & Vision  

OUR MISSION:

We Grow Learners, Break Barriers, Build Futures

OUR VISION:

Kind, Connected Humans

Our Four Strategic Areas of Exploration 

Innovation and Cultivation

Innovation is the ability of humans to continuously create their desired future. Innovation is something innate to all people, it is about creation, and it is about cultivating a better future—however each person defines that. 

Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

 
Equity is a recognition that not everyone has been afforded the same resources, and a commitment to work to remedy this fact. Authentic equality requires conscientious and intentional acts of equity, diversity and inclusion. At AC Library, we commit to honest conversations, and adapting and changing as individuals and as an organization.

Civic Participation 

Community is built on the connection between individuals, public institutions, and local organizations. Engaged and informed decision-making requires ongoing communication…and we need everyone’s voices. Widespread, active participation in civic life makes everyone safer and stronger.

Healthy Families, Healthy Homes 

Life successes are connected to healthy homes, family support, and kind, connected communities. The path to success starts in infancy and grows throughout a person’s life. Access to secure housing and food, early childhood education, and family literacy build the foundation for a healthy world.
