Library Strategic plan rising arrow logo

During the fall and spring of 2019 / 2020 the Library Advisory Board conducted several brainstorming sessions engaging its creativity to develop a short list of truly strategic and frankly hard to achieve objectives for the next five years. These ideas were discussed, distilled and ranked into a short list of Goals and associated tactical objectives by the diligent efforts of the Board.

During this process the emergent goals of the City of Newberg were weighed into the mix.

By the summer of 2020 deliberations began on how to survey and incorporate public opinion without creating an unsafe condition by gathering persons together. Ultimately open-air meetings were rejected in favor of a digital survey to be run in Spanish and English. The results of this survey work that ran from October to December 7, 2020 are gathered in appendix A of the plan.

This five-year strategic plan seeks to support and strengthen services the library currently provides as well as encourages the library to adapt to changing environmental and community conditions to meet community needs.
