It certainly doesn't rise to the level of Thomas Jefferson's statements,
but our County Law Library's Mission Statement reads: "To provide
adequate and timely legal information to the judiciary, government
employees, the members of the bar and citizens of Dakota County, in the
form most comprehensible to all types of users, bearing in mind that
ready and convenient access to such information is vital to the justice
system of a democratic society." And "To utilize information technology
to deliver legal information wherever financially feasible and
acceptable to users." My Law Library Board liked it...
