The Path Forward

Erie County Public Library's strategic plan outlines six core focus areas that will drive how we operate, what initiatives we tackle, and how we prioritize projects for the next 5 years. The focus areas all center on the same theme: how can our Library help you?

 

Focus Areas

The Strategic Plan centers on the following six focus areas:

  • Inspire a culture of reading joy, discovery, and curiosity
  • Strengthen community literacy and educational partnerships
  • Create accessible, functional, and inclusive library spaces
  • Deliver exceptional, people-first service
  • Cultivate staff growth, leadership, and collaborative organizational culture
  • Ensure long-term financial and operational sustainability
