The mission of the Utah State Library is to develop, advance, and promote library services and access to information.
VISION
- The Utah State Library (USL) works to provide equal access to information and library resources to all Utah residents by providing
- leadership and partnership with the Department of Community and Culture (DCC), and other government entities, groups, and organizations that share common goals;
- library services for the blind and disabled;
- training and services for our customers—in their communities where they work and live—in the effective performance of their public responsibilities, and in the use of rich and diverse information technologies and resources;
- quality information resources to public library customers and state agencies via Public PIONEER (http://pioneer.utah.gov);
- funding and organizational support for public, academic, school, and special libraries in Utah;
- bookmobile service for Utah's rural residents.
The USL strives to keep its services relevant and effective by assessing needs, planning responses, and evaluating results in a dynamic cycle.
