The handouts and additional materials from the 2019 Day of Learning: Community Based Strategic Planning have been collected on a special page in the FAQs and How-Tos section.
The minimum standards require that public libraries have a “community-based, board approved, written long range plan of service developed by the board of trustees and staff”
