Vision, Mission, Role, and Core Values
Vision Statement
The Logan County Libraries aims to provide access to information and resources that support the educational, economic, and recreational growth of Logan County.
Mission Statement
The Logan County Libraries aims to serve as a key resource for information and related materials that support the educational, economic, and recreational development of Logan County. The Library and its branches offer both print and digital materials, reference services, public programs, and additional resources to promote independent learning for residents of all ages. We also collaborate with other community, educational, industrial, and commercial organizations to achieve this mission.
Role
The Logan County Libraries consist of five branches and a central main facility. The strength of the library system lies in its collective scope and quality of materials and services, rather than in any one individual facility. Each branch library plays an essential role in its respective community or service area, with collections and services tailored to reflect the unique character of that area. Each branch strives to provide a basic collection of materials for preschoolers, juveniles, and adults to meet the needs of its community. The main facility and its staff offer additional support to supplement these collections.
Furthermore, the Logan County Libraries participates in a network of inter-library loans, allowing residents to access information and materials not included in the library's current collection. Specialized materials and services are available at the main facility. The primary goal is to broaden the range of materials offered rather than duplicate collections across the entire system. Home delivery services through the Outreach Department are also provided from the main library to individuals requiring specialized outreach.
Core Values
The core functions of the Logan County Libraries can be summarized as follows: it serves as a provider of free, popular materials for the residents of Logan County; it acts as a support center for students of all ages in achieving educational goals set by local institutions; and it serves as a gateway to learning for preschoolers, fostering an interest in reading and learning through services designed for children and their parents.
