Board Members and Mission Statement

Mission Statement

Building on our long tradition of volunteerism, community and civic support and independent spirit, we dedicate ourselves to the encouragement of reading and the spreading of knowledge for the benefit of all who enter the North Wales Library, now and into the future. We value books as beacons that can transport us, guide us, inspire us, amuse us and teach us to love and respect one another.

The Library Board meets the second Monday of the Month at the North Wales Borough Hall starting time is 7:00 PM . The meetings are open to the public.

Library Information Update                    

• The North Wales Library has been in its current location since 1927. We have outgrown our
  space and need to expand. Expansion at our present location is not possible. Therefore
  we have purchased the building at 322 Pennsylvania avenue. Later this year we will renovate
  the space and turn it into  a new Library with community space and activities. To accomplish this
  we will need the communities help both financial and active voluteerism. To offer either or both
  please call or stop by the Library.
   
• Today the North Wales Library is used by a much larger community, including the residents
  of North Wales, Lansdale, Hatfield, Upper Gwynedd, and Montgomery and Towamencin
  Townships.
   
• The North Wales Library is much more than a collection of books. We offer a variety of
  reading, science and humanities programs, book clubs for all ages as well as access
  to required books on summer reading lists.
   
• Teachers with valid district IDs can borrow books from the library to enhance their
  classroom activities and classes are encouraged to visit the library for on-site instruction.
  Our evening hours provide access to important educational materials
   
• The library has an exciting future ahead! We're planning to automate our systems,
  and offer access to library resources from your home computer. We have also joined Access PA
  thus allowing free membership to any Pennsylvania resident.
   
• The North Wales Library is a vital part of the North Penn community and is moving
  forward with our plans for an exciting future that will continue to meet the
  needs of area residents. Visit our website frequently for updates on programming and
  stop in to the library to check out what we have to offer.
