Mission Statement:
The Somerville Public Library is dedicated to providing materials and services that meet the educational, cultural, recreational and informational needs of all people in the community. From introducing libraries to young children and their families, to supporting their needs in school, to meeting their recreational and educational needs as adults, the library supports life-long learning and reading enjoyment of the community. The library recognizes that there are groups such as immigrants, the disabled and low literate that traditionally have been underserved by libraries, and strives to provide equal access to all members of the community.
