Culture and Community

A blue map of the state of Pennsylvania against a darker blue background. Each Commonwealth Campus library is pictured within a circle and labled with its campus name. Text on the right of the image reads Culture and Community Across The Libraries

Culture

Diversity and inclusion. Equity to access. Empathy. Integrity. Respect. Responsibility.

These are just some of the many values that serve as our compass for how we want to conduct ourselves, how we want to treat others, and how we want to be treated, too. Read our Institutional and Foundational Values to learn more about the environment and organizational excellence we strive to achieve and maintain – one that you’ll enhance when you join us!
