Mission

It is our mission to build a community of learners, dreamers, and doers by offering a wide variety of materials and programs. We want to serve as a resource for enrichment, entertainment, self-directed learning, and the exploration of ideas by providing a well-balanced collection and programs in various formats by utilizing changing technology.

Special mission: Encourage a love of reading, learning and intellectual curiosity for children, pre-teens and teens.

Collection Development Mission

The Hood County Library strives to collect and maintain a well-rounded collection of materials in various formats to assist its patrons with their personal, educational, and professional needs regardless of age, income, education, religious or political beliefs; and to make no judgment on the nature of individual material requests for the collection. The collection should reflect a diversity of ideas and the interests of the community and its patrons.
