Strategic Plan
In the Fall of 2011, the Library Board of Trustees began collecting information from residents and staff in order to select priorities for a revised strategic plan. Revisions were adopted in March 2013. Four strategic priorities are the focus for Fiscal Years 2013 through 2016:
- Be a comfortable place with areas for gathering, meeting and studying. Areas to be addressed include casual and formal gathering spaces, quiet study spaces and a dedicated space for technology.
- Embrace emerging technologies as a means to provide services and resources to library users.
- Create a space for teens that they can identify as their own. The space will encourage them to gather at the Library to use library resources, participate in programs, share ideas, study and create.
- In order to meet the needs of our patrons, the Library will provide a continuous learning environment for library staff that emphasizes cross-training, adaptability and personal / professional development.
The Strategic Priorities document can be accessed here. The document includes an overview of the process as well as proposed action steps for each Fiscal Year that were developed by the Library’s Management Team.
