Hello,

I liked learning the Public Library Association's service priorities.

The Public Library Association now identifies 13 library service priorities:

• Basic literacy
• Business and career information
• Commons environment for meetings
• Community referral
• Consumer information
• Cultural awareness
• Current topics and titles
• Formal learning support
• General information
• Government information
• Information literacy
• Lifelong learning
• Local history and genealogy

Here's the recently updated 2010-2012 Library Strategic Plan Mission Statement and Goals

The Mission of the Mesa County Libraries:

We at the Library Value:
