DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS
The Fort Worth Public Library is a community gathering place for learning, self-discovery, shared experiences, and
personal growth. The library’s mission is “Building a community of learners, dreamers, and doers”. The strategic
focus areas for the library are:

· Reducing barriers to access, expanding the library’s reach, and evolving services beyond buildings
· Contributing to the City’s thriving arts scene while celebrating the past and embracing the future
· Cultivating a community of readers and serving as the literary hub for the City
· Enriching out-of-school time and making learning fun and enjoyable
· Nurturing economic development, entrepreneurship, and opportunity for all
· Supporting City goals, developing employees, and aligning capacity with strategy

The Department is divided into two divisions, Public Services, and System-Wide Services. The Public Services
division comprises the Central Library, 15 branches, one satellite facility, and collection management. This division
is the first point of contact for residents.

Public Services is responsible for providing library materials, programs, and outreach directly to the residents of
Fort Worth.

System-Wide Services provides the structure and systems needed to maintain library services. The division
consists of six operational units including Administrative Services, Communications, Data & Analytics, Facilities
Management, Human Resources & Training, and Information Technology. Each has a unique responsibility to
support the system-wide delivery of library services.
