Socorro Public Library -- Board of Trustees




Board of Trustees

Library Trustees normally meet on the second Thursday of each month at 4:00 p.m. They set policy for the operation of the library, secure adequate funding, promote the use of the library, and sell Petroglyph Tiles to raise funds for capital improvements

Mission Statement
The mission of the Socorro Public Library is to meet the evolving educational, cultural, and recreational needs of local residents by providing modern library resources and services. The library strives to acquire materials, plan programs, and provide services that reflect an understanding and consideration of the community served with concern given for all ages, backgrounds, interests, abilities, and levels of education.

The library recognizes an obligation to acquire materials and extend services to those members of the community who traditionally have not been library users. The library dedicates itself to providing ready access to the world of ideas and knowledge by planning for the information needs of the community.

The Socorro Public Library endorses the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights and Interpretations, Freedom to Read Statement, Freedom to View Statement, and Free Access to Libraries for Minors.
