As Jefferson County Public Library plans for the future, we're excited to continue the development of our next Strategic Plan.
Our strategic planning efforts are well underway, guided by our collective commitment to shaping a meaningful future for JCPL. Our team has been working diligently to gather input from a broad range of voices, including patrons, community stakeholders, JCPL staff and the Library Board of Trustees. Feedback from more than 8,000 community survey responses and 44 interviews with key stakeholders and partners provided fantastic insights and direction as we work to support a library system that champions equal access, embraces all backgrounds and inspires our community.
We look forward to sharing plan updates and next steps in the coming months.

About Strategic Planning
Strategic planning shapes the Library's long-term vision, setting priorities, focusing resources and strengthening operations. From 2020 - 2025, we prioritized creating libraries of the future, reaching more people, building literacies, becoming the "third place" and growing sustainably.
Guided by these goals, we've explored new and redesigned building projects, expanded outreach and Library To You services, increased access to technology and continued offering programs and resources to support community growth.
We're excited to share our 2026+ Strategic Plan in early 2026.
