The Dare County Library's mission is to serve citizens of all ages by providing materials that meet their informational and recreational interests, and by supporting formal education, independent learning, and literacy enhancement. It strives to be a reliable resource for information, recreation, entertainment, education, and personal fulfillment within the community. The library system operates three branches and, as part of the East Albemarle Regional Library System, offers access to materials from libraries in Currituck, Camden, and Pasquotank counties. The library aims to provide information and resources in a helpful atmosphere, with skilled and friendly staff eager to assist patrons.
