The Rutland Free Library desires to introduce, promote, and encourage the love of reading, to help children and teens develop skills in the use of information and technology, listening and visual literacy, to assist them in understanding themselves and their world, to encourage each to develop to his/her fullest potential and to develop life long learners.
To meet the needs of the entire community, both school and public libraries are required. The similar and different missions, resources, staff and programs provide the full range of resources, materials and services necessary for each child to develop to his/her fullest potential through lifelong learning.
Therefore, the Board of Trustees encourages cooperation with all schools in the library’s service area. This cooperation shall include appropriate resource sharing, borrowing privileges for teachers and administrators regardless of their private residence, and the mutual promotion of programs and services to and for all youth.
