MISSION STATEMENT

The Margaret E. Heggan Free Public Library of the Township of Washington will be the community’s primary resource for knowledge, information, and enjoyment, with emphasis on convenient accessibility and customer-oriented service. The Library will strive to:

  • Provide materials which are of most interest to users of all ages; especially preschool and adult age groups who have no other library at their disposal;
  • Instill a love of reading and learning, and a familiarity with the Library, in all residents but especially in preschool children from infancy through the kindergarten age;
  • Provide prompt and accurate information to individuals, groups, businesses, and government in our community;
  • Assist elementary and secondary students with information, materials, and services which support their formal education assignments and interests;
  • Be a place where our community can gather, learn, and connect with each other.
