Our Process
The library is following the Strategic Planning for Results model as recommended by Alberta Public Library Services Branch. In brief, the service model will be based on addressing local needs identified by community stakeholders who will help us choose areas of focus. Library trustees will evaluate the stakeholder data and choose objectives to meet these needs with measurable goals (ie. By 2023, 80% of families attending our children's programs will say these help prepare their kids for kindergarten).
