In an environment in which information is available from many sources and in many formats, libraries must remain on the cutting edge to provide services and resources that are relevant to their communities.  To ensure that the Oxnard Public Library continues to provide this type of service, we have adopted these core values:

We believe Library users are not only our customers; they are the reason our library exists.

We provide quality customer service with sensitivity and respect for human diversity.

We value each employee and volunteer as an individual and for his/her contributions to our Library.

We welcome change, constantly reassess our services, and try to see ourselves through our customers' eyes.

We advocate literacy and free access to library materials as components of lifelong learning.

We confirm the right of all people to have access to information and knowledge.
