The T-Ville Library aims to be a hub for lifelong learning and community engagement through its vision and mission. Its goals are to foster early literacy, contribute to the learning and recreational needs of the community, promote lifelong learning, develop a community hub, provide resources to remote community members, and support the local primary school. The library will have areas for adults, non-fiction, periodicals, computers, young adults, and children. It will offer local history and other collections, online services including e-resources, and programs for all ages. A pop-up library will deliver materials to other parts of the community. The library aims to add more adult and family history programs and evaluate its success through various statistics and surveys.
