I want to give a huge thank you to everyone that provided input toward the creation of the Loudonville Public Library’s 2024-2026 Strategic Plan. After the completion of community surveys, the community focus group, Loudonville Public Library Board, and Loudonville Public Library staff appreciative inquiry workshops and the compliation of a great deal of data, I am pleased to present the Loudonville Public Library 2024-2026 Strategic Plan. This plan allows the library to be flexible, grow and change over time to best meet the needs of the patrons and community we serve. Our patrons and community will begin to see changes implemented from the new Strategic Plan as early as Spring 2024. Again, we thank the community for their support throughout the years and look forward to serving you far into the future.
