Our mission statement: RCPL cultivates community and advances equity by welcoming all people to experience the shared joys of literacy and learning.

Service Priorities 2025-2028

Community Aspirations: Belonging, Growth and Wellness

In early 2025, the Library conducted 10 bilingual RCPL Listens community conversations with partners serving youth, caregivers, seniors, and unsheltered individuals, as well as open listening sessions for the general public and specifically for BIPOC individuals, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ folks, to identify community issues, challenges, and aspirations.

Over 150 people representing a diverse cross section of Redwood City community members participated, and their discussions highlighted three common themes in the form of community aspirations toward which the Library could contribute in a positive way: Belonging, Growth and Wellness. The Library’s areas of focus in new and ongoing service initiatives for the next three years were developed in service of these aspirations
