Provincetown Public Library Long Range Plan/Goals, Objectives, and Activities

The principal Goal of the Provincetown Public Library over the next five years is to move into a larger facility offering adequate seating, meeting and exhibit space, room for the collections, space for technology and quiet study/research space. The following Goals, Objectives and Activities have been developed consistent with the plan that by 2006 a new facility will be open and enabling all Objectives to be completely met.

Over the course of the next five years, Library Staff members will continue their endeavors to make improvements and progress towards meeting the Goals and Objectives with the full knowledge that the present facility is severely inadequate. Library Staff, Trustees and Volunteers will be devoting significant additional resources, above and beyond their usual duties, to the Capital Campaign Plan (see attached), which has been designed to fulfill the Library's Building Program.
