Board sets programming targets tied to mobile library rollout and circulation goals
Summary
The draft strategic plan links mission to programming: staff proposed 15 new programs based on survey results, a 20% short‑term increase target for school‑aged participation, and circulation increases by FY2028; staff noted the mobile library will not be on the road until January, which affects scheduling and targets.
Sarah reviewed the plan's programming goals and associated metrics, saying the first objective is 15 new programs tied to the needs‑assessment survey and noting the board's target to see a "20% increase of school aged children participating in programs" within a year — an objective several members cautioned may be difficult because the mobile library will not be on the road until January.
Staff also outlined circulation and outreach targets tied to the mobile library: a 10% increase in print and electronic circulation by the end of FY2028, and program attendance goals such as 200 people attending information‑access or technology programs by the end of FY2027. Board members discussed pacing objectives and suggested some targets be shifted to provide a full year of mobile service for measurement.
