The Gwinnett County Public Library Board of Trustees voted to acceptance a new strategic plan Monday evening. The plan, which includes new mission and vision statements, focuses on three main goals: building awareness of the library and its services, outreach and engagement and community needs.

These overall goals will provide guidance for the development of library programs and services over the next three years.

“This plan would not have been possible without the support of the Library Board and our community stakeholders,” said Library Executive Director Charles Pace.

Library leadership and staff will begin discussions soon for implementation of the strategic plan with Penny Hummel of Library Strategies, the national consulting group who facilitated the planning process.
