Castleton Free Library Mission Statement

The Castleton Free Library serves as a welcoming center for our community and a gateway to the world of information and imagination. We provide free access to materials and ideas through robust collection development, cultural and creative programming, resource sharing, online networking, and outreach. We are dedicated to fostering literacy and lifelong learning, and to provide dynamic services for young and old.
Library News
Construction has begun on our Elevator project making the second story of the library accessible! Please be aware that the rear entrance is now closed for the duration of the project. Please use our front entrance. Our side parking lot will also be closed from time to time to accommodate deliveries. There is a possibility that during the construction the library will be without water and electricity. During these times, the library will have to close. Our hope is to have all closings posted on the website (see above) and on our social media in a timely manner so you can plan ahead for your library visit. We apologize for the inconvenience but hope you are excited as we are for the wonderful changes coming to the library!
