MSL Values

These values define MSL's culture and guide priorities, decisions, and actions.

• User-centric services
• The diverse worldviews of our users and partners
• Open and free information that is accurate, timely, comprehensive, and convenient
• Data-driven planning and evaluation coupled with compelling narrative
• Risk-taking
• Progressive library services and collections that are models for others

Users include public libraries, state government employees, geographic and natural resource professionals, and MSL staff but the public at large, who interact with MSL systems and information, is the ultimate user served.
