Info

The Haddonfield Public Library, as defined in its mission, provides "ready access to information and ideas" and is a "center for lifelong learning, welcoming patrons of all ages, backgrounds and interests. The Library's collections respond to the informational, education and cultural needs of the community." The Library is a public forum for the collection, use and dissemination of information and ideas in a democratic and free society. The Library also is neutral ground, making information and ideas available without discrimination, without coercing a viewpoint on our public and by resisting barriers to information others may wish to impose. Inclusion of material in the collection does not consist of endorsement of its viewpoint by the Library. In other words, by its nature and its mission, the materials and services of the Haddonfield Public Library, like the community its serves, must be diverse and must include all points of view on current and historical topics. To provide this diversity, some materials will be controversial, unorthodox or unpopular with the majority.
