It's all in the strategy.

Strategic planning isn't always the most exciting thing to do, but it is essential when an entity wants to improve and keep on track of those improvements.

The Brookings Public Library Board recently approved The Future @ your Library 2009-2013. This long-range plan, developed by a twelve member citizens committee, will further enhance the Library’s excellence for the next five years.

Among the goals set are increasing the promotion of the Library, continuing and expanding community partnerships, expanding the Library’s Internet bandwidth, increasing the number of Library card holders in the community, increasing the attendance at Library programs, adding downloadable audio, and assessing the needs of English as a Second Language users.

We're currently working on timetables for completion and then setting out to accomplish our goals. You'll hear and see more about this in the next few months.
