Libraries are about creating individualized, equal, and equitable access to resources. Every library patron has a unique need, and not everyone has the resources in order to meet that need. As a library, we build a rapport with the unique individual we are serving to determine what their need is, and we connect the individual with the appropriate resources, people, organizations, and/or technology to meet that need.

Library Station Managers achieve this goal by building relationships with patrons in their community and connecting patrons with resources in a safe, friendly, and welcoming environment.
