Strategic Plan

Well, our new Strategic Plan, created with your help, has been completed!  You can access it here – as you can see, we have a lot of exciting projects to pursue over the next few years!

I was struck by a recent news article, which can be found here.  It talks about the need for civility in society, and the role libraries play as a social space.  It’s always good to be reminded of what we can do to help others, and it’s a role we’re glad to be able to play.  Now that we’re a “Choose Civility” affiliate, we will in the future be providing additional opportunities for people to discuss issues civilly – as you can see, it’s one of our goals for the future!

I’d also like to take a second to highlight a couple of great online resources, which I will try to do in this blog going forward.  First off is Project Gutenberg, a free repository of public domain ebooks in multiple formats for those of you who want to catch up on the classics.  Its equivalent for audiobooks is LibriVox, which puts up free downloadable audio files.  LibriVox works on a volunteer basis, so the quality can vary widely, but that also means that if you have a book you like, time to read it aloud, and are confident in your voicework, you can post something as well!
