Further, the Board makes general studies of library programs and operations to keep the library efficient and adequate for the City's needs, and reviews and recommends policies and programs for the advancement and enhancement of the library.The mission of the Wichita Falls Public Library is to act as the public information center for all citizens of Wichita Falls. To the extent that funding is available, acquisition and organization of quality and relevant print and non-print materials and services, either from from our collections or through other libraries and information resources, will address educational, informational, recreational, and cultural needs in surroundings that are welcoming and efficiently operated.The Wichita Falls Public Library subscribes to the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights and the Freedom to Read statement.
