Our Mission
The Monroeville Public Library exists to support and enrich the lives of our community by providing free and open access to information, ideas, and opportunities for lifelong learning. We empower every voice in our community by fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where all can Connect, Discover, and Imagine. Through the sharing of information, services, and opportunities available at our library and by building strong partnerships, we help residents, businesses, organizations, and visitors to thrive and contribute to a vibrant, safe, and engaged community.
PA FORWARD
The Pennsylvania Library Association’s 21st Century Literacies Initiative, PA Forward, was conceived to give voice to what the library community already knows, and what other states throughout the nation are also recognizing:
With the right support, libraries are ideally positioned to become the community centers of information, technology, and learning that will fuel educational and economic opportunity for all of our citizens.
Libraries have moved far beyond just being book repositories. They’re agile institutions serving real-life needs. Libraries are the key to powering progress and elevating the quality of life in Pennsylvania by fueling the types of knowledge essential to success: Basic Literacy, Information Literacy, Civic and Social Literacy, Health Literacy, and Financial Literacy.
The Monroeville Public Library has many programs, which speak to these literacies.
