The history of the Mansfield Library starts in 1795 with the establishment
of the Social Library Society of North Mansfield. When the Town of Mansfield
accepted the Mansfield Center Library as an entity in 1911, it was done
on the condition that borrowing be free to the public. Our library has
changed a lot over the years, but we've always maintained the goal of
providing Mansfield residents with access to books and information.
Today, the mission of Mansfield Library is to provide convenient access
to information that can enhance the lives of Mansfield residents of
all ages. The Library emphasizes current, popular materials, provides
programs of general interest to the Mansfield community and encourages
young children's interests in reading and learning.
The goals of Mansfield
Library are:
1. To provide a broad range of materials in a variety of formats
2. To make Library materials available throughout the community
3. To offer programs and services that promote lifelong learning
4. To provide qualified staff to both assist patrons and promote the
active use of the full range of library resources
