  • Equitable Access - Provide resources, technology, information, and facilities to all people regardless of race, sexuality, gender expression, ability, spirituality, or age.
  • Respect - Honoring diversity, individual perspectives, and the right to privacy and confidentiality.

Strategic Plan

Westerly Library and Wilcox Park aims to offer innovative programming, a robust array of online databases and resources, and provides information for the community in keeping with our mission. Wilcox Park serves as an essential lifeline to many, contributing an opportunity for children, families, senior citizens, and their four-legged friends to take a much-needed break and enjoy nature in a safe communal space. We strive to meet the needs of our patrons and visitors today, and anticipate upcoming needs. Our Strategic Plan will guide us into the future and assist in meeting those necessities.
