2013 will be a year of reflection, planning and documenting the future direction of the library. With
the change in leadership of the Upper Arlington Public Library due to the retirement of the former
director in May 2012, the continuing economic challenges and recent and upcoming changes in
leadership of other city organizations such as the School Superintendent and City Manager, the time
is ripe for a full strategic planning process in 2013. While we conduct a planning process, there are
goals and objectives from the 2011-2012 Strategic Plan that can and should continue that will assist
in the planning process.

In the following 2013 Strategic Plan the category descriptions are the same and the Goals and
Objectives have been continued from the 2011-2012 for the most part with some minor reframing.
Activities listed are a result of brainstorming with the original planning team and managers. Our
Mission, Vision, Core Values and Areas of Strategic Focus remain the same.
