Images of Library Life
 

Portsmouth Public Library is looking to the future – so this year we’ll be creating a Strategic Plan. We've conducted a community-wide survey, and this fall we'll hold community discussions. We aim to publish our Strategic Plan in the new year!

What is a Strategic Plan?

A strategic plan is a process and a document to help guide the direction of an organization. The final plan will outline the library’s goals and strategies for the next 3 – 5 years. To get there, we’ll be inviting community input in several ways.

NEW: Attend a Community Forum!

We received over 2300 responses to our community survey, and we are so grateful to all who participated! We look forward to reviewing the analysis and moving forward.

We're holding community forums next to find out more in dialogue. We hope you'll choose to participate in one - all are welcome!

Each forum will last about ninety minutes, and refreshments will be served. Registration is required.
