Library committee nears completion of strategic plan, targets June adoption

Middletown Library Strategic Planning Committee · May 21, 2026

Summary

Committee members approved final edits to a draft strategic plan for the Russell Library, agreed to seek board adoption at the June 16 meeting, and directed staff to format and publish supplemental materials online.

The committee chair said the group has a nearly finished strategic plan and intends to ask the full board to adopt it at the board meeting on June 16.

The draft was described as a collaborative effort led by Ramona with editorial design by Brandy and early drafting help from Andrew. The chair emphasized local authorship, noting, "The primary author, is was not AI. We could not use AI to write this." Staff said they would format the final plan and host supplemental documents on the library website.

Board President said adopting the plan in June would let the committee "check that off our list" and provide a report to the parent organization before the summer. Staff reiterated the publication approach, saying they will include charts, photos and pull quotes and link supplemental files from the planning page ("russelllibrary.org/future").

The committee agreed to incorporate editorial suggestions, let Brandy Doyle finalize the title and formatting, and share a final draft with the full board once edits are integrated. There was no formal board vote on adoption at this meeting.
