Strategic Plan

2021 - 2025

The board, administration, and staff have collaborated to create the Ruth Hughes Memorial District Library 2021 - 2025 Strategic Plan, a document that showcases our vision of the library's goals and objectives for the next five years.  The board, administration, and staff have worked hard to identify the needs of both library branches in order to come up with ways to fulfill them efficiently. 

We are confident that this plan will enhance the quality of service that we provide to our patrons.
