Mission Statement
It is the plan of the Aurora Town Public Library
- To provide an opportunity for learning, personal growth and recreation for all the people of our service area, and
- To apply traditional expertise and changing technology for equitable access to quality library services and materials in a 21st century facility.
Strategic Plan
Friends of the Aurora Town Public Library
The Friends of the Aurora Town Public Library is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. They generously support and fund a variety of things for the community to enjoy at the library - from furnishings and equipment to materials and programs. Many Friends also volunteer at the library. Funds are raised by the Friends primarily through an annual book sale and membership drive.
- Material (books, dvds, cds, puzzles) donations are generally accepted by Friends at the library on one Saturday per month from 10am-2pm between September and May. Please call the library in advance at 652-4440 to verify the schedule of upcoming collection dates or for more information.
