We will focus on State of the Art Libraries, Books and Reading, Quality Customer Service and Children and Teens. Strategies within each area have been identified for further development by various work teams. This work will drive our budget and resource allocation process in the future. We will continue to build both the collections and the connections that we have put in place. Our challenge is to merge the successful aspects of our traditional, popular library services with those of the emerging electronic information marketplace.
People come to our libraries as a social and personal experience.
We are seeing teens attending in record numbers, coming primarily for the technology. We will continue to celebrate the book and promote reading. We will support creativity and intellectual inquiry. We will continue to be a learning organization. At the same time, we will use technology to connect to the world.
