About Us

Our Vision:

The Amesbury Public Library fosters connection in the community through learning, inclusivity, respect, responsible stewardship, kindness, and joy.

Core Values

Service (Kindness and Empathy)
We strive to provide the best possible service and to listen and respond to our community members’ needs.

Responsibility
We believe all people have the capacity to create positive change in their own lives and in their communities. We will responsibly manage our facility and be environmentally minded.

Intellectual Freedom
We believe in free, equitable, and confidential access to information for all members of our community in service of a democratic society.

Inclusion
We understand the harm caused by systems of oppression and inequity. We seek to provide access to all and to dismantle barriers.

Diversity
We recognize and honor diversity of opinion, experience, culture, race, gender, and language.

Safety
We strive to provide public spaces that are clean, safe, and well maintained.

Joy
We believe in sharing and celebrating joyful moments in our interactions and through our work.

Lifelong Discovery
We believe all people deserve access to tools, resources, and spaces that inspire curiosity and learning.
