Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)
“Open to All” is not just a statement etched above our Main Library entrance since 1907, it is the standard we hold ourselves to as we invite, embrace and honor diversity in all forms. We commit to fostering a workplace and a community where everyone belongs and thrives.
