Emma L. Andrews Library and Community Center Commission

The Commission's responsibilities include: to liaise with the Office of the Mayor regarding the state of the building, the apartment, and the buildings revolving fund; to ensure that the Association follows adopted policies and procedures in operating the library and maintains the integrity of the collection; to advance and oversee the buildings use as a community center and its relevance to that community; and to support the Association's work in managing the Emma Andrews Library and Community Center.

The Commissioners are guided by the words spoken by Emma L. Andrews on July 20, 1905, at the Library's dedication: "If the reading room and library proves to be a continuation of their work, an education center for this part of the city, an incentive for ambitious boys and girls to employ their time wisely, and to make the most of their opportunities; if to the sick or weary it alleviates dreary hours; if to many it becomes either an inspiration or a help, the wishes of its founders will be realized."
