Our Purpose

Our purpose is to build an inclusive resilient community through the library. Through permaculture, a children's vegetable garden, cooking classes, and composting we help children and adults connect with and learn from nature and build our community. We are defend the public funding and the democratic and egalitarian values that underlie the idea of the library.
