Strategic Plan 2019-2024

Strategic Plan Cover

 The Library had previously developed an extensive long range plan in 2012. Under the previous plan, the Board focused on cultivating a library that reflected the growing diversity in Bergenfield and which would serve as the town’s “lifelong learning and cultural center.” Members from the 2012 Strategic Planning Committee met periodically since the plan launched to plan various multicultural programs that celebrated the town’s diversity.

As the Library prepared to commemorate its Centennial anniversary in 2018, the Board decided that an updated long range plan would be a fitting way to celebrate this important milestone. Led by Dr. Nelson Reynoso, Vice President of the library board, a formal Strategic Planning Committee was established in August 2018 and was tasked with developing a new long-range plan.

Starting in June 2018 and working through December 2018, the Committee reviewed past practices, surveyed the community, investigated demographic trends, analyzed usage statistics and comparable trends, discussed current strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities facing the Library, prioritized future capital projects and formulated a new strategic plan for 2019-2024.
