Strategic Planning Open Forums Tuesday, March 1 • 6:30-7:30 pm Wednesday, March 2 • 6:30-7:30 pm Community Room Registration Required: Call 231-237-7340 to register for a session Facilitators: Kimberly Bolan Cullin & Rob Cullin Help us plan for the future. The community is invited to learn more about library services, help us evaluate what we are doing and share ideas for the future. Open to all. For more information on the strategic planning process, please see the Letter from the Director on page 2. Mandala Art: Awakening Fridays, May 6 & 13 • 1:00 – 3:00 PM Community Room Registration Required: Please register online or call 231-237-7340 Artist and filmmaker Angeline D’Balentine of D’Balentine Creative shares the power of the mandala to awaken cultural awareness and personal growth. In this workshop you will experience a method that will teach meditation, patience, self-discovery, and the act of embracing impermanence (letting go). This two part series was made possible through a partnership with North Central Michigan College. Letter from the Director 2 I’m feeling like a “goal digger” right now. Throughout the spring and summer the library will conduct a strategic planning process. We will be working with Kimberly Bolan and Associates, an organization known for its understanding of library services and expertise on future library trends. Their goal is to “help libraries survive and thrive in an environment of constant change.” Our goal is to look at what have we done in the past, evaluate how effective we’ve been and identify how we can do things better. We will start digging…looking at our own data and data from the community. We’ll look at our community’s strengths and weaknesses to help us define opportunities for growth and collaboration. Once an initial data analysis is done, we will come to you to dig some more. We will be asking people to take part in community forums and an online survey. In these sessions you will learn what the future of libraries might look like and we will ask for your ideas on what this library should do to move forward. Open Forums will be held the evenings of Tuesday, March 1 and Wednesday, March 2 at 6:30 pm in the community rooms. Another session will be added in June for our summer residents. All sessions are open to the public and we invite you to join in. We want to know what you think. If you have ideas you want to share, this is the time. The information shared in the community forums and from the survey will help our planning team define our future goals and the methods we use to meet those goals. Please complete the online survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/charlevoixpl The Charlevoix Public Library prides itself on being a leader of library services in Northern Michigan. We set a standard when we opened this facility in 2006. As we enter our tenth year in this facility, we will continue to listen to your needs, provide the collections and services you want, and be the “living room” of the community. Looking forward to hearing what you think, Linda Adams, Director New!
