Jericho Town Library's mission is to enrich the community and inspire lifelong learning by providing free public access to quality materials, services, programs, and ideas in a space that welcomes everyone. In alignment with this mission, we are pleased to offer the second floor of the library as a meeting space for community members outside of our normal operating hours. In providing space for public meetings, the library will not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, age, gender, national origin or disability.
