Board Adopts Strategic Framework3/25/2024 At their regular meeting on March 18, 2024, The Vernon Area Public Library District Board of Trustees officially adopted a Strategic Framework that will guide the activities of the library over the next four years.
Key activities highlighted in the plan include working with an architect to maximize public use of the library building and grounds and looking into a shared library catalog to provide patrons with access to more materials. Other action items include expanding the “Library of Things” (equipment that patrons can check out) and maker-type offerings for content creation. “As this library district completes its 50th year of stellar service to this community, this Strategic Framework will give us a strong start on another half-century of operational excellence,” said Library Director Anne Rasmussen. “We feel good about this plan,” Rassmussen added. “It's an investment in our future. It’s doable, it’s lofty, and it’s solid. We are all very excited to get moving on it.” The VAPLD Strategic Framework 2024–2027 draws upon research and outreach conducted by the library, along with recent findings from other organizations in the library service area, such as the planning studies and branding surveys by the villages of Lincolnshire and Buffalo Grove. “This is excellent,” said Board President Marc Fenton. “All along the way you’ve kept us involved and asked for our input … I think it's great.” The public can view the full Strategic Framework document on the library website at VAPLD.info/StrategicPlan. An abbreviated one-page version is also available for pickup in the library.
