Mission Statement
The purpose of the Lincoln Lawrence Franklin Regional Library is to provide library service to all citizens of Lincoln Lawrence and Franklin Counties. The library's primary thrust is education, particularly self-education, but it will supply recreational materials as well.
Materials deemed appropriate for the library include but are not limited to printed material in any form, recordings (audio and video), photographs, documents of historical interest, technological resources, children's materials and adult materials.
