Mission Statement

The Leon-Saxeville Township Library has chosen the roles of popular materials center, community information center, and preschoolers door-to-learning to best serve all people in the community and surrounding area.  The library's aim is to serve the community and to provide a source for essential ideas of a free society.  Rules and regulations are necessary, so that all receive the greatest benefit from the library's services.  The Leon-Saxeville Township Library Board of Trustees hereby adapts the American Library Association Library Bill of Rights, the Freedom to Read Statement, and the Freedom to View Statement.  (Copies of this and the Library's Policies are available at the library.)
