What we aim to solve
The library is the hub of the community of St. Marys. It is one of the few places that is open to everyone. The library strives to offer materials and services pertinent to the needs our residents. The library offers a wide variety of educational and recreational reading and audiovisual materials in a variety of formats. The library also provides internet enabled computers and free wi-fi for public use. The library is used as a meeting space by both individuals and organizations. The library serves as a reference point for individuals finding information in general and about the town and services provided to community members. The library provides informational and recreational programs for people of all ages. While literacy and access to books is the heart and sole of the library, it is one part of a what the library does.
