The Future of Your Library

Jefferson County Public Library's 2026 - 2029 Strategic Plan for the future is now available!

Guided by our collective commitment to shaping a meaningful future for JCPL, our team worked 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.

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 for what's to come with our 2026 - 2029 Strategic Plan, opens a new window!
