About Strategic Planning
Why Does Our Library Need a Strategic Plan?
A strategic plan is like a roadmap for the library. It helps us figure out where we’re going, how we’ll get there, and what matters most along the way. It’s based on what you—our community—tell us you need and value.
With this plan, we can:
- Focus on What Matters Most: Whether it’s more books, better technology, quiet study spaces, or fun programs for all ages, the plan helps us focus on the things that make the biggest difference in your lives.
- Use Resources Wisely: We want to make smart choices with our time, staff, and budget. The plan guides us so we can do the most good with what we have.
- Stay Flexible and Ready: The world is always changing. This plan helps us keep up and adjust to new challenges—like changes in technology, education, or how people like to learn and connect.
- Work Together with the Community: It helps us build stronger partnerships, apply for funding, and show how the library supports learning, creativity, and connection for everyone.
In short, the strategic plan makes sure your library continues to grow, improve, and serve as a welcoming, useful, and inspiring place for all.
We have contracted with The Ivy Group, Ltd. of Charlottesville, VA to help us chart the course for our strategic plan. Founded by a teacher and a librarian in 1989, The Ivy Group is a privately held small business with 100% female ownership and have led more than 100 library projects across the country helping clients deliver responsive, aspirational services that foster positive change in their communities.
