In 2010 the Saint Paul Public Library adopted a new strategic direction which will guide our work for the next several years. The process included input and participation from elected officials, patrons, Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library, staff, and a community advisory committee. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Our new strategic direction reflects our conclusion that the most critical role for the Saint Paul Public Library is strengthening Saint Paul's community learning network.
