Our Strategic Plan
The Haddonfield Public Library has initiated the development of its new 4-year strategic plan. As our current strategic plan, which has guided us through 2024, nears completion, we are preparing for the next phase of growth and innovation.
The new plan will serve as a roadmap for the future of the library, helping us meet the evolving needs of our community and continue offering valuable services. We are committed to ensuring that the voices of our patrons and community members are heard throughout this process.
"Gathering feedback from our community is vital to our development," said library director, Eric Zino. "This is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our past achievements and explore new ways to better serve our community."
Starting this month, we will be reaching out to the public through focus groups and surveys to gather feedback on library services, programs, and future priorities.
