Children’s Services Mission Statement
The Children’s Services Department of the Transylvania County Library exists to provide
the highest level of services and programming to the children of Transylvania County ages 0 – 12 and their families,
as well as to offer resources and support to the educators and caregivers who directly influence these children.
It is designed to meet the educational and recreational reading and informational needs of children of all ages.
More specifically, we believe it is our responsibility to:
Help instill in children a lasting appreciation for books and language.
Help pre-readers develop the skills necessary to become readers.
Positively impact family reading habits.
Promote the appreciation of quality literature.
Encourage children to become life-long readers, learners and library users.
