Where is my library now?
What is a new objective for my library?
How will we get there?
My library has experienced tremendous growth the past three years. Myself as a new director took the library in a whole new direction with massive improvements. In turn, the public recognized this and made the library a very busy place. That is where the library is now. Busy, busy, busy.
So what happens in a busy library? Lots of things all at one time and in order for some sort of organization to take place in this flurry of activity a library needs staff. At the current time my library has one director, one staff member who works one day a week and a substitute. So the obvious goal for my library is a proper number of staff members.
This objective for additional staff members must be achieved by involving the county library board, the county commission, and the county executive. It is also extremely important to alert the community to this need because they can help put pressure on the county officials to realize the need is a valid way to spend county money.
The goal is clear and the process has already been started. I am doing my part to achieve this goal and the rest may depend on what happens tomorrow on election day. My hope is that some of the things I have been promised by the candidates might come true. :)
Pam's Point: You must always have goals and move forward. A stale organization will eventually fade away and crumble. So stay positive and don't be afraid to change and press on.
