CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITIES Northland Public Library Strategic Plan 2016-2020 Executive Summary Summarized below are the strategic priorities intended to be the foundation of Northland Public Library’s activities through 2020. All priorities and activities will be reviewed and updated, at minimum, annually. Mission Statement Northland Public Library enables, empowers and encourages lifelong learning and discovery. Vision Northland will be the primary community connection for residents of its supporting municipalities. 2016-2020 Strategic Priorities In order to truly function as “The Primary Community Connection,” Northland needs to focus on: Library Funding; Library Programs, Collection and Services; Library Space; Library Promotion; Library and Community Partnerships; Library Technology. Strategic priorities will support our residents’ desire for lifelong learning through both group and individual experiences; desire to live in and contribute to a stable and sustaining community; desire to understand the wider world; and desire to understand the past and look to the future. The activities outlined in the Strategic Priorities will be reviewed on an annual basis and changed as needed. In some areas of focus, such as technology, it is difficult to make exact forecasts of organizational and community needs beyond a 3 to 4 year time period. Priority 1 – Library Funding 1A To maintain stable or increased income from supporting municipalities. 1B To ensure Regional Asset District (RAD) funding and state aid remain viable components of Northland’s operating budget. 1C To seek out funding from “Underserved areas” in adjacent communities in Allegheny County. 1D To raise adequate supplemental funding to support on-going and new service initiatives of the Northland Public Library. 1E To leverage available funding by achieving economies through strategic partnerships. 4
