KFPL Strategic Plan 2013 - 2020

Summary: In 2013 the Library Board and staff initiated a strategic planning process to identify the future of our Library and to describe our priorities for service improvement and expansion. In today’s increasingly digital and complex environment it is more imperative than ever for the Public Library to pause, examine the changes occurring in the community, technology and publishing, and plan how we will successfully navigate those changes to make a positive difference in the lives of the people of Kingston Frontenac. This is what the Library in Kingston Frontenac has been doing for more than one-hundred years: positively changing lives by transforming information into inspiration for people’s imaginations.

We talked to community stakeholders and residents, both users and non-users of the Library. We compiled information to understand changes in our community and researched factors affecting public libraries in North America. Using this information to inform and challenge our thinking, we developed a strategy for the future. It is a future that embraces change predicated on new technologies, evolving communities and shifting values and lifestyles – all with significant implications for public libraries as we endeavour to educate, inform and engage residents.
