Sargent Memorial Library in Boxborough, MA, serves 5,500 town residents and people from surrounding areas. The Library connects deeply with the community and is committed to serve its needs. For example, during COVID, the Library quickly transitioned to curbside pickup services, provided book bundles, helped with food pantry collections, and eventually became one of the first libraries to reopen with safety measures.
The development of a Strategic Plan allows the Library to do a comprehensive study of the community’s evolving needs and methodically plan for the future to ensure the Library’s resources are used effectively, with direction, and towards the most needed areas first. In January 2022, the Library embarked on a six-month process to develop a strategic plan for fiscal years 2023-2027, and here it is in its entirety.
