Community Survey for Laramie County Library System’s 2021 Strategic Plan
Laramie County Library System has officially begun its strategic planning process, and is looking for feedback from its stakeholders in order to make plans and set goals that best meet the needs of the community. Every few years, the library evaluates its strategic plan and carefully considers where the organization is and where it wants to go. Strategic Planning allows the library to examine its priorities and establish a direction with which to guide the organization’s future work and success.
Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out the survey which consists of four questions and should not take more than ten minutes to complete. The collected responses will be used in conjunction with other information and data to set goals for the library over the next few years. Laramie County Library System values its stakeholders’ voices and greatly appreciates your time and effort in ensuring that the organization continues to grow and meet the needs of this wonderful community.
