Park City Library has a three-year strategic plan that focuses on user experience, inclusivity, community relationships, and lifelong learning. The Library has defined the user experience goal as developing and maintaining an efficient, welcoming, and dynamic library staff, facility, and resources. The goal for this year is to perform a 10-year facility analysis.
The Analysis
A subcommittee, comprised of library staff and library board members has spent the last six months reviewing the Library, including the physical building that houses the Library, including public and staff spaces. Library staff members were included in this process, given their day-to-day experience with patrons and the facility.
Next Steps
This analysis has led to a detailed list of suggested changes that will be reviewed and prioritized by the Library Leadership Team. Some items will be recommended for annual maintenance, while others may require more involved steps. Several needed improvements were identified in the facility analysis, including adding window film to the Library’s glass doors to prevent children and adults from walking into them, auditorium stage accessibility, deep cleaning of high-use areas and furniture, and adding additional storage to support library events.
