Keller Public Library joins libraries in schools, campuses, and communities nationwide in celebrating the many ways libraries are transforming their communities every day through the services and invaluable expertise they offer.

The role of the library has changed for librarians and library workers.  Libraries of all types are evolving to meet the needs of the communities they serve.

Elected officials, small business owners, students and the public at large depend upon libraries and the resources they offer to address the needs for their communities.

The library embraces the entire community , offering unlimited opportunities for personal growth and lifelong learning," stated Library Director Pam Trammell. "Libraries level the playing field for people of any age who are seeking the information and access to technologies that will improve their quality of life."

Libraries also offer something unique to their communities - the expertise of individual librarians.

The Board of Trustees give freely of their time and expertise to provide the best possible library service.

"They are tireless library advocates who establish policies and long-term goals, oversee the general operation of the library and budget process and promote the library in the community," commented Trammell.

"The waiving of overdue fees is a courtesy offered annually by the library to say thank you for supporting our library," Trammell said.
