The New Rochelle Public Library Mission
The New Rochelle Public Library is a community resource that
seeks to improve the life of every citizen in our city. It is dedicated
to encouraging learning in all stages of life, to protecting
intellectual freedom and to providing fair and equal access to
information.
A healthy and vibrant public library is a critical partner in a
dynamic New Rochelle. To preserve this role, the Library must
offer:
• A comprehensive collection that includes retrospective and current
materials
• Up-to-date technology by which information can be accessed
• A wide range of community services and programs tailored to a diverse
audience.
• Professional, knowledgeable and courteous service to our patrons
The goals of the project are to enable artists to create original
artwork that enlivens, enriches and enhances the quality of
New Rochelle’s visual environment and public spaces. We
also wish to provide opportunities to advance the careers of
young artists and broaden the role of the artist in the
community.
