2018 - 2019 Strategic Priorities and Activities
The City of Berkeley's draft Strategic Plan has established nine (9) long-term strategic goals for City services. The Library has identified three (3) key goals from the plan that significantly relate to the Library’s mission:
- Provide state-of the-art, well maintained infrastructure, amenities, and facilities
- Champion and demonstrate social and racial equity
- Provide excellent, timely, easily-accessible service and information to the community
The Library has identified a number of operational initiatives and activities designed to help meet these goals:
