MISSION STATEMENT
The Hatfield Public Library is a welcoming and lively center for lifelong learning, personal enrichment and community interaction. It is dedicated to serving all Hatfield residents, and is especially cognizant of its role in promoting the value of reading and self expression to the youth of the town. The Library is responsive to community needs as they evolve over time and strives to connect its users to ideas, to experiences and to others in the community and to the world at large.
PLANNING AND DESIGN GRANT
The Hatfield Public Library is the recipient of a Planning and Design grant from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. These grants give libraries the funds to explore options for improving their facilities. This could mean expanding and renovating an existing building, or exploring new construction possibilities. The Library Facilities Needs Assessment Committee (see LFNAC) was formed in November 2007 with the charge of overseeing implementation of this grant, which will result in a schematic design and recommendation of the best option for an improved library facility.
