After endorsement by the North Plains City Council, the North Plains Public Library Board adopted a new North Plains Public Library Strategic Plan on August 16, 2022, to guide the Library’s services to the community for the next five years (2022-2027). See the full plan under "Supporting Documents" at the bottom of this page.
The strategic plan is intended to provide a clear path for staff to focus on community-driven aspirations. It ties into the recent
City Council Goals and was created between fall 2021 and mid-2022 with input and help from a variety of stakeholders and partners. These include the Library Board, a Strategic Planning Stakeholder Committee, the North Plains City Council, North Plains Public Library and City Staff, Washington County Cooperative Library System, and numerous other partner organizations. Public Library Consultant Darci Hanning with the State Library of Oregon led the whole process as a free service provided by the State.
