Based on the community input, library staff and Board then developed a new mission, values and strategies. The <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="file_viewer.php?id=9025&dt=pdf">Strategic Plan 2011-2013</a> was adopted by the Library Board in September and the Puyallup City Council in November, 2010.</p> <p> </p> <p>In order to gather even more from community residents, the public was asked for their feedback about the library. We compiled over 800 responses that provided staff with needed information about the library. This information was used to craft our strategic plan. If you would like to see a survey summary and public response, check the <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="file_viewer.php?id=9029&dt=pdf">Survey</a>. </p> <p> </p> <p>The purpose of a strategic plan is to assess the progress that is being made on a continual basis. Library Staff are using a <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="file_viewer.php?id=9030&dt=ppt">Balanced Scorecard</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>management tool as a new way of monitoring our strategic plan. This Scorecard makes the Library accountable in achieving the planned results and helps us stay focused on achieving our mission. </p> <p> </p> <p>The strength of a Balanced Scorecard is that it considers all facets of our library operation, including financial, operational, customer service, outcomes and staffing perspectives. Because of the constantly changing library environment, a Balanced Scorecard allows us to keep in touch with what our customers want and how we can better deliver our services. It basically will aid Library staff in determining how to spend our resources.</p> <h5 style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="file_viewer.php?id=9025&dt=pdf">Click here to view the Library's Strategic Plan 2011-2013</a> (pdf) </h5> <p> </p> <p> </p> Sat, 26 Mar 2016 16:02:11 PDT Sat, 26 Mar 2016 16:02:11 PDT
