Champlain Memorial Library

Our Mission
Our official mission: “The Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System fosters and enhances public library service to the residents of the System area with economical resource sharing, continuing education, advocacy, access to comprehensive services and by serving as a resource for member libraries and their directors.”

The System accomplishes its mission by support of local libraries and reading centers, by direct service to areas without a library or with populations which cannot easily reach a near-by library, and by service to organizations, groups, and individuals unable to use traditional library services (outreach). It also serves as a link to the global library network and provides leadership and advocacy for library and literacy issues on a regional and state level.
