Our Mission

We are a haven, a place that invites and offers opportunity, celebrates community, and promotes literacy.

We Are Fine Free

As of June 1, 2019, we are 100% fine free. In an effort to be more equitable and welcoming and to eliminate barriers to service, we have eliminated fines on all Spooner Memorial Library items. As long as items are returned, all fines will be waived. We are happy to work with patrons who have lost items or damaged items as well. EVERYBODY is welcome here and we are happy to serve you.
