Announcing BVMPL's Updated Values Statement
We are excited to unveil the library’s updated values statement, reflecting our dedication to serving the Bismarck-Burleigh community and visitors with enhanced relevance and inclusivity. For the past several months, staff reflected on the library’s core values and principles, as well as organizational culture. On August 22, 2024, the Library Board of Directors reviewed and approved the updated values statement.
| |
As we adapt to the evolving needs of our patrons, these updated values create a moral compass for the organization and our employees. They reaffirm our commitment to being a welcoming and forward-thinking space for all. These updated values will guide our efforts to enhance your library experience and foster a more inclusive and informed community. We look forward to continuing to serve and grow with you! | | | |
