We are pleased to announce the release of Princeton University Library's mission and vision statements.

"The statements are a landmark moment for the Library," said Anne Jarvis, Robert H. Taylor 1930 University Librarian. "This is the first time the Library has created and released mission and vision statements. It was a collaborative endeavor in which the staff was invited to contribute input and thoughts on statements drafted by the Library's leadership team. These statements mark the beginning of an important opportunity for unity and clarity of purpose, and the Library is proud to share our position for supporting the University's mission of excellence in academics."

MISSION
