Mission

The William Fogg Library’s purpose is to serve the community.  We aim to be a center of reliable information on a wide range of subjects, and a place where readers of all levels and diverse tastes can find appropriate resources.  We foster reading by working collaboratively with schools and educational organizations, staying attuned to the public’s interests, and offering programming which covers a broad spectrum of literature, art, music, film, science, history, technology, news of other cultures and our ever-changing world.  We strive to preserve the valuable records of the past, including the Fogg Collection and local and regional history.
