Our Mission

From the policy statement revised and adopted by the Trustees in 1998, the mission of the Tuftonboro Free Library is:

To seek to identify community needs and interests, and in response to acquire and organize books and other materials that will promote and stimulate knowledge, wisdom, culture, enjoyment, and continuous self-education for all residents.

The Library adheres to the American Library Association's "Library Bill of Rights," "Freedom to Read," and "Freedom to View" statements.  We do not censor patrons' access to information.

The Library operates in accordance with New Hampshire State Statutes, and strives to meet current standards for resources and services set by the ALA and by the New Hampshire Statewide Library Development System and the New Hampshire Automated Information System.

The Library cooperates actively with the Tuftonboro Central School library and other libraries in the New Hampshire Statewide Library Development System and the New Hampshire Automated Information System (NHAIS).
