Our Mission

The mission of the Slater Library is to select, acquire, organize and preserve books and other materials of contemporary interest and permanent value for the education, intellectual stimulation and pleasure of the communities of Griswold and Lisbon, Connecticut. It upholds the principles of intellectual freedom and the public's right to know by providing services to fulfill the community's access to information and collections to reflect all points of view.

We are proud to announce that Slater Library has been recognized by the Connecticut Age Well Collaborative as a place that demonstrates age, dementia, and disability inclusivity. Find more information @ https://ctagewellcollaborative.org/
