Vision Statment
The Clark Memorial Library will offer the residents of Richmond continually expanding access to electronic information resources in a measure consistent with the town’s growth, utilizing current technologies and high speed Internet access. The library will be both a physical place as well as an information portal, where residents will be able to access the library 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through its website and electronic resources. Library staff will be provided with continuous training and development opportunities so they may better serve the public.
