THE BRYANT LIBRARY MISSION STATEMENT
In keeping with the tradition of the American Library Association, the Bryant Library Board of Trustees affirms that an informed community values its intellectual freedoms and respects and tolerates diverse ideas and opinions.

The mission of the Bryant Library shall be to provide our community with access to ideas and to promote lifelong reading for pleasure and for knowledge by providing classic and popular literature in a variety of formats. The library is committed to providing materials and services sufficient to meet the personal, educational, and professional needs of community residents of all ages.

The Board of Trustees further recognizes the community's desire to maintain the special character of the Bryant Library. At the same time we seek to provide a setting suitable for the efficient use of the materials and services offered.

THE BRYANT LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
The Bryant Library Association has served Roslyn for more than 119 years, making the Bryant the oldest continuing public library on Long Island. Membership in the Association is free. All residents, 18 years or older, of the Roslyn Union Free School District are Association members.

One of the duties of members of the Bryant Library Association is to vote in the November election for library trustees.

Membership in the Bryant Library Association should not be confused with membership in Friends of the Bryant Library, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support the library with services, equipment and materials not ordinarily provided through tax dollars.
