with the terms adopted by the Bergen County Cooperative Library System,

The Ramsey Free Public Library provides
free and equal open access to ideas and information to all members of the
community. As a public service institution, the library must adapt to
change in order to retain its proper role in society. The library provides
comprehensive reference and information services. It selects and makes
available current high-demand materials in a variety of formats to meet
the informational, recreational and cultural needs of persons of all ages
from pre-schoolers to senior citizens. Its resources and services must be
available to the entire population regardless of age, sex or physical
condition; regardless of economic, ethnic, religious or political status.
The library has an obligation to
create a broad awareness of library resources and services and to stimulate
their use. The library offers highly developed and comprehensive collections and
services to the children of our community. In addition, the library serves all
patrons who are seeking information, doing research or independently pursuing a
sustained program of learning, and makes every effort to obtain the necessary
materials and provide programs and support their endeavors. |
