Strategic Plan
Know Your Neighborhood: DC Public Library Strategic Plan 2017-2021
DCPL published its five-year strategic plan, “Know Your Neighborhood”, in 2017. The plan provided a roadmap for delivering customized services that meet the needs and aspirations of our communities. The priorities identified in the plan -- Reading, Digital Citizenship, Strong Communities, Local Culture and History, and Stewardship -- continue to guide our work along with a focus on recovery efforts and an ongoing commitment to equity and inclusion.
