The Livingston Public Library is adapting to changing user needs and societal shifts while maintaining core services, noted Amy Babcock, its director, as she shared insights on intellectual freedom, literacy and community engagement last weekduring a Zoom presentation with the Livingston League of Women Voters (LWV).
The discussion focused on the library’s new Strategic Plan for 2024-28 and its mission, the “Core values of community, compassion, connection and creativity.”
The plan outlines the Livingston library’s vision, mission and values as it aims to provide equal access and intellectual freedom for all, while fostering growth and a creative environment. The Strategic Plan, created by staff and tru stees, was a y ear in the making, using data gathered through surveys, focus groups, andmeetings with the community.
