Simsbury Public Library recognizes that Simsbury is a diverse community and welcomes patrons, staff, and volunteers of all ages, abilities, races, genders, ethnicities, cultures, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, socio-economic statuses, political affiliations, and viewpoints.

We invite each and every one of you to bring your full, authentic self to the Library. The Library is committed to providing a comfortable space, where your individual needs are met with respect and without judgment. As a vital asset to the Town of Simsbury, we provide equal access to information and resources that allow individuals to thrive and learn in an ever-changing society, and support the community’s exploration of matters related to diversity, tolerance, openness, acceptance, and inclusion.

To promote these values, Simsbury Public Library will:

Create and sustain a culture of respect, in which individuals are heard, valued, and included.

Remain engaged with the community in a process of continual improvement and responsiveness to matters of equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Develop and implement programs, services, collections, and spaces for all ages that are diverse and inclusive.

Expand strategic partnerships and collaborations with local organizations that seek to overcome social injustice and advance equity in the community.
