The chosen service
roles were: the Commons Environment, General Information, Lifelong Learning,
and Current Topics and Titles. Several members of the Forum asked that a customized
service response, which cherishes learning and provides resources for children,
be added.
On February 27,
2001, the Library Director and Planning Committee Chair met with the Library
Staff to review the SWOT analysis and choice of service roles. Library Staff
used the Needs Decision Tree and the Service Response Decision Tree. The Staff
accepted the work done at the Forum and added the Local History/Genealogy
and Cultural Awareness service role because no other group in the community
besides he Library could be identified as serving that role. On March 22,
the Planning Committee met again and reviewed the work done so far. The Committee
then worked on a new Mission Statement for the Library. After this meeting,
the burden of work switched to the Library Staff who began to develop a set
of Goals based on the Mission Statement and choice of Service roles. As this
work progressed, the Library Director met with the Library Trustees to check
with them on the direction in which the Plan was heading. At regular intervals,
the Trustees adopted segments of the Plan including the Mission Statement
and Set of Goals. On July 18, 2001, the Library Director presented the final
Plan to the Library Trustees for their approval, and on August 28, 2001 the
entire Plan was reviewed by the Planning Committee and then unveiled to the
Community.
