Austin Public Library Long-Range Strategic Plan

Post by Vanessa Fuentes »

Hello Colleagues,

I intend to provide direction to Item 40 (Adopt the Austin Public Library long-range Strategic Plan, including a facilities plan outlining initiatives and goals through 2028 in accordance with Imagine Austin) that ensures we conduct community outreach and engagement as we move forward with expanding or constructing library facilities. This will ensure we are assessing community needs and providing transparency to the public. The direction is as follows:

-The City Manager should conduct community engagement and outreach regarding the prioritization of the expansion of existing library locations and building of new locations to ensure we are meeting community needs.

-The City Manager should assess the needs at the time of construction and renovation of facilities and provide information to the public around the prioritization process used to determine which branches were expanded or constructed.

Yours in community,
Vanessa
Council Member, District 2
