Millvale Community Library

In early 2007 the idea of a library was born, and by August of 2013 our doors were officially open. The Millvale Library was built from the ground up by a team of hard-working volunteers. Many of those volunteers are from right here in Millvale, and it’s their generosity and their tenacity that keep us moving and growing today.

Millvale Community Library is a powerhouse of local involvement. We work collaboratively with individuals and agencies to provide dynamic programming to patrons. We make decisions that are good for our environment, our economy, and our people. We invite insights and support from all over the country because every community deserves an exceptional space to learn and come together.

OUR MISSION:
More than a library – an agent of positive change.

OUR VISION:
We envision a happy, informed, and engaged community.

OUR VALUES:
Education: A library is a place to learn and discover, it is our duty to ensure that happens here.
Sustainability: Our duty to the community is to ensure we provide the best possible services and we must be financially healthy to do so. A portion of operational costs are earned through renting apartment and office spaces. Our duty to the hearth is to cause no harm. We generate our own electricity, provide natrual wildlife habitats, and provide educational opportunities for community members to learn how they too can practice sustainability.
Love of Community: We seek to serve the population already living in Millvale. We take requests for materials and programming seriously, and partner with other local organizations to keep our finger on the pulse of the community.
Character Commitment: We foster the personal and professional growth of our staff, volunteers, and board members.
