Collection Development
The purpose of the Prairie Creek Public Library District collection is to make available books and other materials ordinarily provided by libraries that will meet the educational, informational, and recreational interests and needs of the people of the district. The children's collection exists to provide pleasure, and, insofar as possible, to provide information in all fields of knowledge which are of interest to children. Emphasis is put on books which will stimulate imagination, mental growth, and the development of a taste for literature.
