Description

Press release from Bethlehem Area Public Library: May 31, 2022 We are happy to share the three-year Strategic Plan for BAPL, which addresses our top priorities and plans for the years 2022-2024. This strategic plan cycle began in an unprecedented global pandemic which has impacted the community's health, economy, education — and the library. Despite the continuation of pandemic disruptions, themes were identified during the planning process that call for action, with initiatives that respond to changing community demographics and culture. They explore and embrace diversity and partnerships with other agencies. The initiatives are grouped under three key words of the BAPL Mission Statement: educates…informs…inspires. This strategic plan affirms BAPL's commitment to promote a culture of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion across all aspects of library operations. See here for a one-page quick-look at the plan. Read the entire strategic plan here. Thank you to all who assisted in the research that went into putting this plan together. This press release was produced by Bethlehem Area Public Library.
