Strategic Plan for the Library - "The Pathway to Providing Exceptional Library Service"

On Monday, November 19, 2001, the Mission Viejo City Council approved the Mission Viejo Library's Strategic Plan, "The Pathway to Providing Exceptional Library Service."

The underlying purpose of the Strategic Plan is that it the document be used to guide library staff in making the best decisions possible about library services and programs while making the best possible use of resources. And, by doing so, the Mission Viejo Library will become the educational and cultural center of the community - the repository of the past and the information portal of the future.

The Strategic Plan, which was funded by the Friends of the Mission Viejo Library, identifies four strategic goals:

	Relationships Within the Community Encourage the public's validation of the Library's importance in the community.
	Services and the Delivery of Service As funding allows, expand library services and programs commensurate to community needs and increase/improve access to information about these services to the community.
	Technology Deploy technological resources that enable the Mission Viejo Library to fulfill the research and information needs of the community.
	Funding Expand and enhance innovative library services and programs by pursing grants and additional fundraising measures.

Each strategic goal is accompanied by objectives and activities. Mission Viejo Library staff, City of Mission Viejo staff, and community members and volunteers will be working to accomplish the goals which will be regularly reviewed and updated.
