This document discusses diversity and the importance of providing inclusive library services. It outlines that the community using the library is very diverse, with people of many cultural backgrounds, languages, abilities, and needs. The library aims to respect and accommodate this diversity by improving its collection of materials in different languages and formats, providing programs and resources to help people learn English, and ensuring accessibility through technologies, materials in large print, and wheelchair access. The goal is for the library to encourage continued use by all members of the community.
