APL Community Plan Nearly Complete--now it's time to get to work
The findings of the plan are unsettling--our public library is in a struggle for survival. If left unchecked, current funding trends will lead to a library system that is at best mediocre and at worst irrelevant. But it doesn't have to be that way. The plan offers exciting and empowering recommendations on how we can turn our library into an indispensible community resource. Stayed tuned to learn how you can help implement the plan.

The plan will be posted here when it is released.
