BACKGROUND Each year, Denton Public Library creates an annual report for the public in order to foster transparency in government and promote library services to the community. For the past two years, this report has included a video element. This brief report gives an accounting for some of the activity that takes place within the Library department. During this work session, staff will review the paper version of the report which is attached as Exhibit 1. Additionally, staff will present the video element during the meeting as well. The Denton Public Library's Strategic Plan expired in 2013. New administration in the Library established a process to obtain input from the public, customers, staff and library leadership in order to create a new guiding document for the next three years. This document is now ready to be presented to City Council for their information and input. The plan includes three broad goals under the headings Community Education, Community Connections and Community Resources. Included in the document are plans to expand outreach, provide advanced training, and develop new and emerging resources for public use. The new Strategic Plan is attached as Exhibit 2. PRIOR ACTIONNIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS) The Library Board has been kept abreast of procedures relating to the gathering of information for creation of a new Strategic Plan, and accepted the resultant plan at the February 10, 2014 meeting.

Denton Public Library is embodied in three facilities, Emily Fowler Central Library, North Branch Library and South Branch Library. Denton Public Library has a progressive 76 year history. This strategic planning document will serve as a guide to continued library growth and governance during the next three years. The current culture surrounding library services is denoted by remarkable change. Material formats, delivery options, programming, and physical spaces have all come under scrutiny as the library profession and concept adapts to reality in the 21" century. The current speed of change requires innovation and ingenuity on the part of library leaders to meet demands and embrace opportunities. This plan is designed to be a fluid document, open to revision and input as needs and opportunity dictate. What will remain the same is the core commitment to the three guiding goals contained within: providing education, connections and resources for our service community. Our challenge is to remain relevant in an environment of many choices, and to communicate our considerable value and services to our customers. In many ways, these next few years will be an exercise in bridging the gap between traditional library services and new endeavors. It will require a respect and understanding of our past and a willingness to experiment, take risks, and embrace the opportunities of the future. The role of a public library is moving from a static institution to a responsive entity; from just a provider of materials to a co- creator of content; from a transaction -based model of service to a relationship -based participant in the community. This document represents our willingness to begin. DENTON PA The Denton Public Library builds community by promoting lifelong learning, encouraging human connections and sharing resources. The people of Denton will enhance their quality of life through the opportunities provided by the Denton Public Library.

Library leadership will present the plan to staff and guide the interpretation of the goals and objectives. Each staff member should be able to include some facet of the stated action steps in their own Individual Development Plan or suggest another applicable action step. Progress on action steps will be considered monthly by managers during established meetings. Feedback will be weighed and courses of action developed through this process of examination. As we work toward our three goals, the Library experience will evolve through our various outlets — inside our buildings, through our web presence and through our outreach. We expect our services to become more and more collaborative as we connect more completely with civic and community life. While we are looking forward to our role in the future we retain our basic commitments to literacy by providing progressive children's programs and personalized adult literacy tutoring. We hope to expand the definition of literacy provider to include comprehensive electronic literacy as an offering. The digital skills needed for success in the 21" century must include an electronic component, and the Denton Public Library is ready to respond with appropriate training and opportunities to practice. Purchase and implementation of current technology options will enable our commitment to this facet of literacy to expand. Our strategic plan will impact every facet of library operations including • Administration • Youth Services • Technical Services • Special Collections • Adult Services • Circulation Service We look forward to providing responsive, relevant library service to the citizens of Denton.
