It is the mission of the Philmont Public Library (Library) to offer all members of our community a variety of resources and opportunities with which to further their knowledge and cultural enrichment. We especially recognize our responsibility to serve the youth of our community by fostering the excitement of learning and the joy of reading. The Library’s ultimate mission is to serve and be responsive to the changing needs of our community, continually seeking to establish and promote an environment in which the personal and cultural diversity of all individuals is accepted and respected by all staff and patrons.
