Strategic Plan

The 2024-2028 strategic plan for Richmond Public Library affirms our mission and vision which have been in place and guided the library since 2019, and introduces updated values that will guide how we support one another and our community. It also outlines our goals and priorities for the next four years, which will inform resourcing, operations and activities at Richmond Public Library.

In developing this plan, we took a data-driven and community-focused approach, engaging families, youth, newcomers, seniors, and non-profit organizations in workshops and surveys, and receiving feedback from library staff and almost 3,300 community members through online engagement.
