Core values

- **Addressing Homelessness and Poverty**: The library's partnership with the Homeless Alliance provides resources and a space for dialogue and education about homelessness, which is a significant societal issue given the high rates of unsheltered populations and poverty[2].
- **Supporting Early Literacy and Education**: Libraries play a critical role in providing early learning experiences, especially for underserved and vulnerable families, which helps in addressing disparities in education and literacy[3].
- **Promoting Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion**: The library's efforts to eliminate racial and social equity barriers, create inclusive environments, and engage disenfranchised communities contribute to a more just and equitable society[5].
- **Community Engagement and Resources**: Libraries serve as community anchors, providing safe and accessible civic spaces that promote lifelong learning, cultural enrichment, and civic engagement. They also help bridge the digital divide and offer various programs that are culturally relevant and responsive to community needs[3][4].
