I want to hear from every member of the community when we draft our strategic plan this year! Tell us what we do well, and where we need more focus. I need to hear every little niche gripe you have and how we can support your special interest!
Want the full picture of where we've been? Our current plan is live at ypsilibrary.org/about/connect/strategic-plan. Last time, the community asked for a social worker, and we delivered. Stay tuned; we'll be asking the community for feedback on our new plan!
Strategic Plan - Ypsilanti District Library
YDL's ambitious and exciting 2017 Strategic Plan will drive library improvements and new community collaborations over five years.

At their best, libraries embody what Dr. King fought for: spaces that are open to all, where belonging isn't conditional, and where barriers are removed rather than reinforced.
We're grateful to work in a community that challenges us to live up to these values. Happy MLK Day from everyone at YDL.🖤
