2022 was a year of discovery, exploration, and reemergence for Poudre Libraries. My first day as Executive Director was January 4, 2022 -- right as COVID rates began to spike -- which resulted in cancelling in-person programs and struggles to have enough healthy staff to keep our building open to the public. Over the course of the year, we were able to cautiously build back our programs, staffing levels, open hours, and to expand our outreach services. I am so grateful to the library staff across the District for remaining committed to serve our community despite the many challenges we faced over the past few years. They found innovative ways to reach out and connect individuals with the knowledge, resources, inspiration, and opportunities that we are here to provide.
The big accomplishment of 2022 was creating a new strategic plan that will guide our work for the next three years. The plan was grounded in the information we gathered through a series of community conversations that we conducted over the summer. Through these interactive discussions that asked participants to reflect on their hopes, dreams, and desires for the community, we were able to hone in on seven themes that will serve to inspire how and what we do:
I hope you see your own priorities reflected in these and encourage you to explore the many ways Poudre Library creates opportunities and builds connections to strengthen our community.
