VALENTINE PUBLIC LIBRARY

          The Board of Trustees and the staff stress the belief that the Valentine Public Library is one of the most important community spaces provided by the City of Valentine.  The service philosophy encourages people to feel comfortable when they visit the library for their latest reading material, videos, CDs or DVDs, meet friends, use the Internet, peruse the newspapers and magazines or research their latest project. 

            The Valentine Public Library is a cultural hub and focal point of the community; a free and safe place to be, where people can connect with each other, seeking recreation, education, information and lifelong learning experiences.  The Board and staff aim to promote the library as the “living room of the community,” warm and welcoming, a space that relates to the people it serves in an inviting and friendly way.

          The library sees itself as a learning center for the community of Valentine and the surrounding area. It is the place people turn to for the discovery of ideas, the joy of reading and the power of information.  Everyone is invited to check out this wonderful community resource and while there, check out a good book.
