What is a Strategic Plan?
The Strategic Plan will assist the library staff and trustees to develop an action plan and prioritize library projects for the coming three years. Keeping in mind unexpected trends and changes in the profession, the plan will be drafted to allow the library flexibility to adapt its offerings to best meet its goals.
Community conditions are also subject to change and, as Sun Prairie grows and evolves, the library’s activities are expected to adjust in order to respond to those shifts. Despite anticipated changes, the Sun Prairie Public Library will maintain its organizational mission, which guides the Strategic Plan. The 2017-2022 Strategic Plan can be found here.
This is a three year plan for 2023-2025 and the library is working with ReThinking Libraries, a library consulting firm. A key component to the strategic planning process is community input through surveys and listening sessions. The end result will be a plan for the Sun Prairie Public Library that will clearly identify the needs and aspirations of the community with both quantitative and qualitative data. We value your input and look forward to your participation!
