Our Mission, and We Choose to Accept It!

Mission Statement

MCPL will provide exceptional customer service and expanding access to materials, programs and technology including a World Class Genealogy and Family History Library.

We will accomplish our mission by:

• Providing opportunities for life-long learning and exploration in comfortable, stimulating, safe and convenient settings.
• Ensuring the highest quality customer service staff to meet the wants and needs of diverse populations.
• Ensuring the long term financial sustainability of the library.

My interest is life-long learning.  There is an old Dutch proverb that states, "Too soon we grow old, too late we grow smart".  If you've ever felt a lack in your education, we have a wonderful collection of college level courses on  cd's and dvds.  There are 308 selections in our catalog from The Teaching Company with all the Arts and Sciences subjects, from mathematics and economics to art and literature.  These courses cost hundreds of dollars if you were to buy them; the library offers them for free!

The world is at your fingertips!  Any of our staff at Riverside will be glad to help you.
