STRATEGIC PLANNING
Deliver the next generation library your community wants and needs.
LibraryIQ uses a data-driven, research-based, collaborative, and iterative approach to provide flexible, living strategic plans that are tailored specifically to your library and community.
The result? A plan that is achievable and articulates vision, mission, and goals — the “why” — and provides a road map for strategy, technology, staffing, and facilities — the “how.”
A strategic plan developed with LibraryIQ is different:
Data-Driven
Using two exclusive analytics tools, LibraryIQ provides actionable data insights like no other public library consultancy. Methodology includes data analysis, best practices benchmark, and public engagement. Inclusive public surveys, focus groups, and personal interviews ensure all residents are heard and represented in the Library’s strategic plan. Data analysis and public input are combined to create realistic and achievable strategic goals and objectives.
Comprehensive Process
Input from the public, staff and stakeholders offers well rounded insights. Focus on equity and inclusion ensures all residents are heard and represented. Analysis of current demographics as well as planned and projected growth mean community needs are met today and tomorrow. Alignment with community goals drives mutual library and community success.
