LIBRARY STRATEGIC GOALS Each branch is a community hub providing fun educational programs, and services to meet the community’s needs. Staff is a knowledgeable source of community information and library resources. We provide access to technology and the resources and skills to use it. We lead on literacy – beginning with early literacy to encourage lifelong learning. We support Summit County’s Mission to “…ensure quality of life for present and future generations. ” We support the Council’s goals by providing information to the community as well as a community forum for discussions. Example: We partnered with CONNECT, Valley Behavioral Health, local School Districts, and the Summit County Health Department to offer a program in March titled Communicating and Connecting with your Teen In the Age of Smartphones and Social Media. These discussions with local professionals were offered in Coalville, Kamas, Park City, and Kimball Junction. 8
