RE: Nashua Public Library strategic plan
| am pleased to share with you the library’s recently completed strategic plan. Over the last
seven months, library staff and trustees took some time to step back from their day-to-day
work and set goals for the coming three years. We surveyed the public, staff, and trustees;
talked with focus groups; and held retreats for staff and trustees to answer the question, what
does Nashua want and need from its library? As a result of this data gathering and analysis of
demographic data we decided to focus on three strategic directions:
Welcoming and comfortable: Make the library a trusted, safe place that is inviting, easy to
use, and a hub of community activity.
Learning and culture: Support community members in living enriched lives by connecting
them to learning opportunities throughout their lifetime in an equitable and inclusive way.
Collaborative and connected: Integrate the library into the community to achieve high
awareness, meaningful partnerships, and recognition of its value.
A copy of this new plan is attached to this memo and is available on the library's website here:

Thank you for your continued support of the library and our critical services for the community.
Sincerely,
2 Court Street | Nashua, NH 03060 | 603.589.4600 | www.nashualibrary.org
