West Fargo Public Library board adopts 2025–2030 strategic plan
Summary
The City of West Fargo Public Library Board voted to adopt a five-year strategic plan centered on compassion, growth and learning, and community and connection.
The City of West Fargo Public Library Board voted May 8 to adopt the library’s 2025–2030 strategic plan, approving a roadmap that frames services around three core values: compassion; growth and learning; and community and connection.
Board members discussed how the plan will be measured and implemented before the vote. Jenna (Library Director) said the plan will rely on both anecdotal evidence and “hard data” from impact reports and the annual report, and gave collection turnover as an example metric. Board member Leanne suggested adding explicit, measurable goals in future updates to support the narrative reporting.
The plan organizes work under six focus areas (two per core value) and is intended to guide programming, collections and outreach over the next five years. The board heard no objections and adopted the plan by unanimous voice vote.
The board’s adoption creates an expectation that staff will report progress using the mix of qualitative stories and quantitative indicators Jenna described; the transcript does not specify which precise metrics will be adopted or a reporting schedule.
The board moved on to remaining business after the vote.
