Our Mission
A public library is more than a collection of books. Its mission is to cultivate an eagerness to learn and facilitate educational investigation.
The Library Foundation’s mission is…
To support the Mission of the Burke County Public Library.
To provide public access to information for a diverse community
To offer lifelong learning opportunities through innovative and educational programming.
“Bad libraries build collections, good libraries build services, great libraries build communities.”
