Strategic planning process asks for resident inout; survey is online

Rogers Free Library is working to determine its value to the Bristol community, now and in the future. And residents can play a prominent part.

The process is called strategic planning, and it will take about seven months to complete. The result will be a five-year strategic plan for the library. The work began a few months ago when the library trustees hired a consultant to provide guidance for the process. Kay Ellen Bullard has more than 30 years of library experience, including serving as an assistant director for the Providence Public Library for 16 years.

The strategic planning process will include input from the public The trustees indicated they are looking for as much input and as many voices as possible in order to draw conclusions about the future of the library. 

The process includes multiple chances for library visitors and Bristol residents to participate, and that process starts now. The steering committee has posted an online survey which can be accessed at www.surveymonkey.com/r/bristollibrary or by visiting the Rogers Free Library website at www.rogersfreelibrary.org and clicking on the survey. The survey will be active until the end of May.
