Memorial Library of Nazareth and Vicinity

The primary purpose of the Library is to maintain a free public Library in the borough of Nazareth, northampton county, Pennsylvania. The vision: "the Library will be the community center of the municipalities we serve, where members of the community share experiences, information and cultivate relationships" is an example of aspirational thinking about the future and not an over-inflated view of the Library. The vision is based on the process of making a personal connection with people through connecting, discovering, educating and responding to their needs. The Library is committed to providing outstanding service to all patrons in a courteous and confidential manner. The Library promotes the love of books and the importance of reading. The Library values reading and information literacy for the knowledge, power, and recreation they bring. It recognized that reading and information literacy provide a foundation for lifelong learning, opening doors, and expanding horizons. The Library is committed to intellectual freedom and to providing convenient, equitable and open access to the resources and services it provides. The Library extends its reach and impact in the community through partnerships with individuals, public and non-profit organizations, community groups, educators, and businesses.
