Our Vision and Mission Statement
Who We Are
The Friends of Henderson Libraries are persons who value libraries as centers of lifelong learning and leisure. Friends contribute money and/or time to support library services and programs.
Our Vision
The Friends of Henderson Libraries envisions a strong and ongoing partnership with the Henderson libraries—a partnership that has unlimited potential for expanding and enriching informational, educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities in the Henderson community.
Our Mission
The Friends of Henderson Libraries engages in a threefold mission:
- advocacy
- communication, and
- support
Advocacy
Friends champions the development, growth, and improvement of library resources, services, and facilities.
Communication
- Friends promotes community awareness and understanding of library resources and functions.
- Friends exchanges ideas and information that allow for sound decisions and successful outcomes.
Support
- Friends enlists monetary and in-kind resources for the District from organizations and individual members of the community.
- Friends defines and implements the volunteer roles that assists in satisfying District needs.
- Friends funds projects, mutually agreed upon with the District staff, through annual allocations, one-time grants, and local, state and national parnerships.
Our Priorities
- to establish a steady income and operating budget
- to communicate more effectively
- to increase active membership—both those who pledge financial support and those who pledge volunteer hours.
Friends supports programs such as Reading with Rover and the Summer Reading Program.
