Shape the Future of Your Library

At Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) we embrace the idea that the library exists everywhere: enriching communities, inspiring knowledge and helping all generations connect, discover and create. As we plan for the future, we’re excited to start our Strategic Planning Journey.

Imagine a library that grows with our community's evolving needs. What would it offer? How would it serve you? What new opportunities would it unlock?

Follow along with our journey and check back soon for updates.

About Strategic Planning

Strategic planning shapes the Library's long-term vision, setting priorities, focusing resources, and strengthening operations. From 2020 - 2025, we've 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.

Our new Create Space and other creative tech resources offer access to "cutting edge" maker technologies, like laser cutters, 3D printers and more.
An event hosted by the Mobile Earth & Space Observatory offered access to scientific and astonomical tools as part of our 2024 Annual Library Summer Challenge program.
Through expanded resources like the Lending Machine, Holds Locker and Returns Bin available at Ridge Rec Center, patrons can enjoy convenient, 24/7 access to library materials.
