DOWNLOAD the Tigard Library Strategic Plan Here 
To the Tigard Community:
April 2005
You hold in your hands a compass. Instead of a needle and magnet, this compass is made of
paper and ink. Like a magnetic compass, it provides guidance and direction. Unlike a magnetic
compass, this document was created from the vision, creativity and imagination of your friends
and neighbors.
Mapping the Future, the Tigard Public Library’s five-year strategic plan, sets forth an impressive
vision to help the community benefit from this information-rich institution in our Information
Age. The plan seeks to anticipate citizens’ needs and provide solutions to help people
flourish in the years ahead.
With the new facility less than a year old, this strategic plan comes at a timely moment in
the life of the library. The new building offers the community an array of services and
resources. The strategic plan creates opportunities to make the most of those resources.
The Board has been delighted by the community’s response to the new library. Month after month
since it opened, it continues to break records for use and circulation. Based on the remarkable
number of new cards issued, the new library is attracting new patrons daily. We believe the
strategic plan will only enhance the library’s usefulness to the community.
Because many citizens were involved in Mapping the Future, the results reflect community needs
and wishes. The Board would like to thank those who participated in this process. We hope
you, too, are pleased with the results.
We welcome your feedback on the plan and hope to see you in the library!
Sincerely,
The Tigard Library Board:
Suzan Turley, Chair • David Burke, Vice-Chair Pro Tem
Marvin Diamond • Sue Kasson • Brian Kelly • Jane Smith Jan Thenell •
Ruthanne Lidman, Alternate
