The Mission of the Newport Public Library

To provide a current and growing collection of popular materials, and to enrich, enlighten, and entertain all patrons, regardless of age.
To provide a welcome atmosphere for young children for the development and presentation of programming designed to encourage their appreciation of the library as a preschooler's door to lifelong learning.
To promote the use of its public facilities as a warm and inviting community meeting place for individuals, groups, and organizations.
To encourage greater use of the library to foster formal learning by students of all ages in support of their educational goals.
The fulfillment of this mission advocates the literacy of all people, recognizing that reading is a privilege and joy for all.
