Ontario Community Library

Ontario Community Library's Mission and Philosophy

The Library enriches lives by fostering diverse opportunities for all people to read, learn and connect.

Years 2009 -11 saw increases in hours and staffing, along with the commencement of new programs like the Family Winter Reading Program (first held Jan-Feb 2011), and increased activities and budgets for existing programs. The process of updating Public Access computers was also begun.

Now in 2012, the Library has increased to 40 open hours with 10 employees, 3 of which are full time. It has a functioning website and with the support of the Libraries of Eastern Oregon Library Consortium (LEO) and the Oregon State Library opened up the availability of numerous patron access links for online use. Malheur County Court is also still supplying funding to the bookmobile to ensure library access to all of Malheur County year round.

Ontario Community Library's mission and philosophy is to enrich lives by fostering diverse opportunities for all people to read, learn and connect. We hope to continue serving the community for many years to come.
