Draft Strategic Plan
Open for public review and comment
The Library is pleased to share with you the draft Strategic Plan for 2025-2030, click here to access online (paper copies will also be available at the Library).
This strategy reflects the invaluable insights shared by you and the rest of the Hampton Falls community. With that said, this plan is just a starting point for continued dialogue across the community – it is a living document that will evolve over time. That includes this moment, as we ask for one final round of community input before calling the strategic plan “ready.”
What we’re asking
We want your thoughts! Does this vision for the Library reflect the needs of Hampton Falls? Are there ways to improve the proposed initiatives?
How you can contribute
You can offer your feedback in two ways:
- Provide your comments online using this short form. The form will remain open until November 30th.
- Attend the community forum at the Library on Thursday, November 21st, at 6pm and share your questions and input.
