22 Strategic Plan Contribute Vibrant Spaces The concept of place is broadly defined, but it is vital to how and where we live our lives. The third space exists as a community gathering point. We want to be the living room of the city, and focus on providing space for performances, meetings, children s activities, art installations, and general public gatherings. Over the next five years, we will Be more relevant to our residents Be responsive to our community and their need for flexible spaces Balance traditional and virtual spaces Strengthen our Community Libraries are the new social capital of communities around the world, a new gathering place, a new place for exploration and discovery, yet many still have an outdated perception of what modern libraries do and how they serve their communities. We will change this perception by highlighting the depth of our offerings and extent of our outreach. Over the next five years, we will Build capacity in marketing and communications to support promotion of increased programs, awareness and marketing campaigns Expand our reach and footprint into the community by increasing our programs and service offerings Enhance partnerships and develop new alliances Review our service delivery model Continue to be technology leaders in the community Strategic Priorities Reinforce our Capabilities Libraries are continuously adapting to best serve and reflect our community. We will develop a sustainable and financially viable staffing model and invest in staff development. We will continue to build on our library systems by adopting new, innovative technology and business tools committing to continuous system improvement. We will ensure that we are able to respond to ever changing needs through committed investments and library leaders who govern with passion. Over the next five years, we will Create a culture where ideas and innovation are always heard Use evidence based practice for planning and evaluating Library services and programs Review the Library s organizational structure to best support our strategic priorities Advocate for the Library through best practice governance Dive deeper Explore the complete Strategic Plan by visiting to discover our Mission and Vision, Guiding Principles and roadmap to rolling out this plan over the next five years.
