Mission Statement

The Mission of the Smoky Valley Library District (SVLD) is to meet or exceed the informational, recreational, and cultural needs of the people of SVLD and surrounding area, while adhering to the “Minimum Public Library Standards for Nevada.”

Round Mountain Public Library (RMPL) and the Manhattan Public Library (MPL) are committed to providing free current information and library materials in a pleasant atmosphere.

We will support community programs and cultural activities in our area while challenging censorship.

Special emphasis will be placed on supporting formal and informal education, providing services, and introducing all patrons to a lifetime of reading and library use.
