Strategic Planning
2022 - 2024 Strategic Plan
The West Fargo Public Library has a new plan for the future.
“Strategic planning” sounds fancy – but our goal in developing our new plan was simple. We knew we needed to understand the whole West Fargo community and devise a plan that focused on the unique ways library services can support the needs, goals, and values of West Fargo residents. Hundreds of survey and interview responses gathered throughout 2020 and 2021 drive our plan for the future.
