OCLF’s Mission Statement

To develop a network of libraries designed to promote reading for children and literacy opportunities for adults who have not attended school;

To extend the outreach services of each library where there is community and financial support, e.g. cultural dancing, drama, high school scholarships and food programmes;

To seek and encourage the involvement of local communities, to respect their ideas and contributions and to help them to strive towards sustainability in their projects;

To maintain close working relationships with local authorities whose financial support is vital to the long term sustainability of the libraries.
