Focus on Equity
MMPL commits to help level the playing field for all residents of our region. Library staff work to understand and break down barriers to access and increase inclusion so that everyone feels welcome and represented at the library.
Access for Everyone
The digital divide in our area continues to make access to technology, and the skills to navigate it, challenging. For vulnerable populations, most impacted, MMPL provides equitable access to online connections.
