Department Description
The Grapevine Public Library provides impartial and inclusive access to a wide range of information resources,
programs, equipment, and services which meet the changing needs of the community, encourage literacy and lifelong
learning, and support educational, cultural, and recreational activities in a welcoming and supportive environment. It
also provides off-site outreach programs for those in the community who are unable to visit the library, and to reach
non-users of the library of all ages. Strategically addresses barriers to access with a specific focus on making the library
more inclusive for all by providing sensory awareness training for staff, up-to-date health information and resources,
and on-site programs for differently abled groups. Library staff utilizes surveys, data collection and analysis tools to
ensure library programs and collections are fulfilling the needs of the community.
