2023-25 Strategic Plan

January 1, 2021
The 2023-25 Strategic Plan outlines four goals and a series of strategies to deliver value and excellence to member libraries and the patrons they serve.

The theme of this plan, “YRL is a verb,” which may seem an unlikely choice, except for the quick response and nimble actions that have been demonstrated by the entire YRL team in recent years. We are able to be bold and fearless about our future because of the hurdles we’ve already overcome.

Most of all, we’ve demonstrated that there’s nothing that can take the place of a local library. Helping member libraries to fulfill the needs of their patrons is job 1 for us, and its importance is reflected in our Strategic Plan.

Here’s what you can expect from YRL during the 2023-25 period:
     → Provide and expand services to member libraries
     → Advocacy on issues affecting libraries
     → Support to help member libraries to keep pace with technology
     → Strengthened relationships
     → Professional development opportunities
     → Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion

I hope when you read our Strategic Plan you are as energized as our team, who live and breathe YRL as a verb every day.
