LPL Friends & Foundation Supports Lawrence Public Library’s Strategic Plan With the pandemic behind us and a 10-year anniversary celebration in 2024, Lawrence Public Library has created a three-year strategic plan to infuse new energy into the programs, services, and spaces that it provides to Lawrence residents. The library has identified these three priorities for 2023-2025:
Improve patron and staff experience, and increase engagement at the 707 Vermont Street campus;
Improve patron and staff experience, and increase engagement in virtual spaces and outreach; and
Build on internal strengths with solid organizational structures and processes.
The LPL Friends & Foundation is committed to seeking private support to supplement the public’s investment for these strategic priorities. In the coming months, the library will refresh many of its spaces — both physical and virtual — and work to ensure that its campus remains safe and welcoming to all. Together, we will keep the library a strong and vibrant community center where everyone can learn, connect, create and grow. Read more inside...
