Read, Gather, Grow.

Warrenton Community Library is managed by the City of Warrenton and established its roots in the former Hammond Town Hall Building in the 1990s, moving to the current location at 160 S. Main Avenue in downtown Warrenton in April of 2017.  

​

Warrenton Community Library Values:

  • Community-minded
    • Warrenton Community Library takes a “community-centered approach” when it comes to programming, collection development, and resources available. We believe that the library is a vital resource for our small community, and we want to ensure that the community is put first.

  • Welcoming
    • We at the library believe that being open and welcoming to our community and patrons is key to ensuring we are able to meet the needs of the people that rely on our services.

  • Inquisitive
    • Libraries are about exploration. We believe that being inquisitive is foundational to our ability to serve this community. Staff strive to learn more about their community, this field, and anything else that may come our way.

  • Adaptable
    • Libraries are constantly transforming to meet the needs of patrons. In order to adequately serve the community, we believe that we must be willing and able to adapt to overcome our challenges, and to support our patrons.
