Strategic Plan

La Crosse Public Library Strategic Plan

Our strategic plan was developed through a process of community participation involving representatives from the board, staff, city executive and political leadership, as well as members of the business, neighborhood, cultural, not-for-profit, and education communities. Our Board of Trustees voted to approve a final version of this strategic plan on September 12, 2023, to go into effect immediately.
