Identified Area of Growth
Although this wedge highlights digital resources as a key part of the budgeting and resource allocation for a library program, we also took into consideration the needs of our community in terms of print materials. When analyzing this wedge, we felt that it is an area of strength for the district overall. With that said, there is always opportunity to be more pluralistic.
Plan to Address Area of Growth
Each year as budgets are submitted (as seen in the current budget request) all digital and print materials are evaluated for community need, interest, and curricular support. Collection growth will come in the way of diversifying library materials.
Potential Future Directions for Library Program
The library program will continue to evaluate and promote new digital and print resources, both free and purchased, to meet the changing needs of our learning community.
