Mission Statement

Paris-Bourbon County Library strives to be the best possible public library by being deeply empathetic of the needs of people we serve and supportive of each other’s endeavors. We strive to inform, enrich, and empower every person in our community by creating and promoting easy access to a vast array of ideas and information, and by supporting an informed citizenry, lifelong learning, and love of reading.

We acquire, organize, and provide books and other relevant materials; ensure equitable access to information sources in our library as well as throughout the nation and around the world; serve our public with expert and caring assistance; and reach out to all members of our community.
