The Duxbury Free Library will provide opportunities for its patrons to know and better understand personal and community heritage. It is important to remember that these objectives will be met through a series of activities designed and carried out by the professional staff. The completion dates are best guesses and should be read as priorities rather than as hard deadlines. Some objectives may be achieved well in advance of the predicted dates and some may be later. As we move through the plan it is reasonable to expect amendments, deletions, additions, and modifications in the objectives while remaining focused on the broad goals.
Most objectives relate to a specific goal as noted below.
However, a broad objective related to a number of goals is a survey of actual and potential patrons on the following topics. Fiscal years are used for target dates so that the plan matches the budget cycle. The target dates refer to June 30 of the FY indicated. The need for and feasibility of adjunct library services such as caf operation, playground, story amphitheater, and enterprise activities will be assessed by FY02. A facilities study will be completed by FY01 to determine a maintenance and upgrade schedule for the entire facility, including buildings and grounds.
