This week the Strategic Planning Committee continued to collect background information on the Elmhurst community. Last week we focused on numbers. This week was spent looking at the various cultural, educational, civic, and service organizations in town, and identifying special interest groups. We are also looking at the business environment - what types of businesses exist and who are the major employers.
This information will be the building blocks on which we will construct our strategic plan. What needs exist in the community that are not being addressed? Is another organization or group doing something that we can support or enhance? Can we partner with a local business or group on a future project? How are residents spending their time and how can the library support these activities?
Community Survey
We will be meeting with Professor Amy Clugg from Elmhurst College on February 27th to discuss what we want to learn from a community survey. Her marketing class will be conducting the survey for us for free. To prepare, we have been researching surveys conducted by other libraries, trying to develop a set of questions. If you have any thoughts on this please share them with any member of the committee.
