Strategic Plan 2023-25
The Library Board of Trustees has been hard at work these last two years working on a Strategic Plan for 2023-2025. This has been a long, intense process, examining the needs and wishes of the community as we move into our future. Copies of the Strategic Plan Narrative is available here and at the library later this month, and we look forward to discussing the work plan and strategic priorities with patrons and residents.
