Mission, Access, and Literacy

It enables individuals to make informed decisions and engage effectively in the democratic process by providing access to government information, resources, and a trained government documents librarian. Through its commitment to knowledge, nurturing an open dialogue, and adapting to the needs of the library and society in the modern era and beyond, the Government Information and Maps Department stands as a vital institution for advancing democratic principles and societal progress.
