Public libraries welcome all people. All are entitled to respect and civility. All are invited to learn for themselves what is true and what is good. Honest discourse is welcome here.

Calvert Library is making a long-term commitment to be an equity-focused and antiracist organization. This Equity Statement is a declaration of our intent and a commitment to creating a library that is inclusive in all facets including staff development, programming, policies and collection management. We acknowledge that throughout our history, Calvert Library has not always lived up to our ideals of diversity, equity and inclusion. We dedicate ourselves to learn from the past in this process of change and recognize that our work will be ongoing.
