Park City Library has a three-year strategic plan that focuses on user experience, inclusivity, community relationships, and lifelong learning. The Library has defined user experience as developing and maintaining efficient, welcoming and dynamic library staff, facility, and resources. The goal for this year is to complete building updates and evaluate a future expansion.
Accomplishments from Fiscal Year 2024 Perform a 10-Year Facility Analysis:
After an in-depth facility assessment, items were divided into categories. Immediate cleaning and maintenance, future needs, and others. We were able to take action on many of the cleaning and maintenance needs immediately, which included organizing the 3rd-floor kitchen and adding an events refrigerator, organizing storage areas and repurposed or recycled items, and requesting a deep clean from the cleaning service of common areas. Facility enhancements included procuring a new Unique Items shelving unit to help expand the collection, adding a new YouConvene booth, and revamping the YouCreate quiet study space into the YouWork space.
Space Use Survey
The results of the space use survey showed that the most frequently used areas in the Library include the children’s area, second-floor study rooms, quiet spaces in the fiction area, the reading room, and the sustainability area. Programming and storytimes continue to attract high numbers. Some ideas were proposed for converting the YouWork space into a larger, more functional program/events space. Other ideas include keeping and moving the PCC/Utah History materials to the reading room so that space can be used for another larger meeting room.
Current Projects
Current projects that are in progress include building a new information desk and replacing broken tables for use in the Community Room. The installation of our book sorter was completed in early May 2025.
