The Indianapolis Public Library has set course on an ambitious strategic plan to guide operations and public services through 2023.
After extensive input from patrons, community partners, staff, and the public at large, The Library's 2021-2023 Strategic Plan has been approved to designate updated values, strategic priorities, and objectives for serving the community.
Updated organizational values include racial equity, adaptability, communication, diversity, and inclusiveness. Strategic priorities include approaching all operations through a lens of racial equity, enriching relationships with community partners, and intentional focus on five key areas of literacy: digital/technology inclusion, health & wellness, supporting k-16 education, reading & writing, and financial literacy.
