Our most noteworthy plan for 2007 is to break ground for our expansion. We are aiming for April. In fact, we'd like to see it happen on April 1st. On April 1, 1989 we opened the doors of the Monroe Township Library for the first time. Housed on the lower level of the Municipal Building, we crowded all our services into 4,000 sq. ft. Now, we are bursting out of 21,000 sq. ft.
While we are working on the bricks and mortar part of our Library, we will be spending a great deal of time this year in introspection. We are fine tuning our latest Strategic Plan and find that our focus, while we are building the structural framework for our expansion, is on our services. We've had retreats for both Library staff and the Library Board to discuss what we do well, what more we need to do and how best to do it. For a Library is far more than a building. We spent years planning the added spaces, and we need to determine that our service plan reflects the philosophy guiding all our decisions.
It's a great year ahead!
