About this organization
Mission
THE MISSION OF THE LITITZ PUBLIC LIBRARY IS TO PROVIDE MATERIALS, SERVICES, AND PROGRAMS FOR EDUCATIONAL, RECREATIONAL, AND CULTURAL ENRICHMENT TO RESIDENTS OF LITITZ BOROUGH, WARWICK TOWNSHIP, AND ELIZABETH TOWNSHIP.
About
THE LITITZ PUBLIC LIBRARY HAS BEEN TRUE TO A STRATEGIC VISION THAT IMAGINES A VIBRANT HUB FOR LEARNING AND RECREATION, OFFERING NOT ONLY A WIDE VARIETY OF LEISURE-READING AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, BUT LOTS OF ENTERTAINING AND ENRICHING PROGRAMS AS WELL. OUR LIBRARY IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN LEARN SOMETHING NEW AND CONNECT WITH OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY. ACTIVITIES FOCUS ON BUILDING LITERACY SKILLS. THIS PRIMARILY MEANS LITERACY IN THE CLASSIC SENSE; WE PROVIDE PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES THAT HELP OUR CHILDREN LEARN TO READ SO THEY CAN SUCCEED IN SCHOOL. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE OUR ROLE IN PROMOTING DIGITAL LITERACY, THE VARIETY OF SKILLS THAT INCLUDE EVERYTHING FROM THE ABILITY TO SEARCH A DATABASE AND RETRIEVE INFORMATION FOR LIFELONG LEARNING TO THE ABILITY TO COMPLETE AND DISSEMINATE AN ONLINE RESUME IN A JOB SEARCH TO TROUBLESHOOTING THE NEW DIGITAL DEVICE A PATRON RECEIVED AS A GIFT. ACTIVITIES ALSO FOCUS ON LIFELONG ENRICHMENT. OUR AGING POPULATION AND THE INCREASING AMOUNT OF TIME PEOPLE SPEND IN RETIREMENT RESULTS IN A DEMAND FOR ENGAGING LEISURE ACTIVITIES. ADDITIONALLY, IN AN ECONOMY WHERE AUTOMATION AND GLOBALIZATION ARE ADAPTING AND EVEN ELIMINATING CERTAIN JOBS, WORKERS WILL MOST SEE THE CONTINUAL NEED FOR INFORMAL LEARNING AS A WAY OF LIFE. WE RECOGNIZE OUR ROLE IN PROVIDING DYNAMIC, ENGAGING PROGRAMS THAT BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN FORMAL EDUCATION AND LEARNING FOR SELF- ENRICHMENT. STATISTICS ILLUSTRATE THE COMMUNITY'S ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR LIBRARY. THE LIBRARY WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC 60 HOURS EACH WEEK AND PROVIDED ACCESS TO OVER 71,611 BOOKS, AUDIOBOOKS, EBOOKS, E-AUDIOBOOKS, FILMS AND MUSIC CDS FOR USE BY THE PUBLIC AT NO CHARGE.
