Ideas for a community library strategic plan?

Even though I’m involved with my local library, I have little to add. So many good ideas above.

We have events every Sunday (talks, musicians). Mid-day Thursday there is a discussion group. It is well,organized, so no one can take over the conversation. Lots of seniors are regulars.
Lots of activities for the kids, and a group,of volunteers go out into the community. The used bookstore is quite popular. That is run by The FRiends of the Library, and it costs $20 a year to be a member and get emails about all the events coming up. And get option to reserve a seat.

The second floor has many big, comfy chairs. Local artists rotate thru this area. I still work, so I’ve only been to the evening events. The “wedding” rental space is outside on second floor, but can move into this open inside area. We had a lovely restaurant, but it recently closed.

Honestly, I think the only thing we do differently is that one can rent baking pans. All kinds of special molds are displayed above the check-out line.
