In consultation with YOU, BPL staff, and others in our community, the Library Board has developed a draft of BPL's new Strategic Plan. We've selected strategic directions and goals based on your input.

Please read over the Draft Strategic Plan: Draft Strategic Plan - Burlington Public Library (opens in a new window or tab)

Then, take our survey: Take the BPL Draft Strategic Plan Survey SORRY, OUR SURVEY IS NOW CLOSED

Thanks to all who gave us ideas and feedback through the process of creating our new Strategic Plan! Check back in May to see the final version.
