The Guelph Public Library Board is pleased to release the Library’s refreshed strategic directions for the next two years. As part of a diverse and growing community, the Library Board understands the need to make library spaces and resources available to all. By strengthening connections with community partners, the Library will focus on ensuring that everyone in our city has equitable opportunity to develop their skills, delve into their interests and connect with their world.

The refreshed strategic plan was developed in consultation with Overlap Associates. With new members joining the Library Board in 2023 and the unforeseen consequences of the pandemic, the Guelph Public Library decided to refresh their strategic directions and priorities to set the focus for 2023 and 2024 until the next comprehensive strategic planning cycle could begin.

The plan refocuses on four main strategic goals, as follows:

1. Work Together to Build a Resilient Community
2. Reflect our Changing Community
3. Strengthen our Reach
4. Empower Board and Staff
