Vision
The Penn Libraries will advance knowledge to power Penn and better the world.
Mission
The Penn Libraries partners with communities at Penn and beyond to produce, preserve, and provide access to knowledge.Together we build dynamic resources, tools, and expertise that inspire critical inquiry and creative expression.
Values
As part of the strategic planning process, all Penn Libraries staff were invited to participate in a series of interactive sessions to define shared organizational values. These values clarify the essential elements of our future and our aim continually to shape a library system where both staff and patrons thrive.
