One will be in Lampasas on the 6th of April and another on the 7th in Hillsboro. It's called "Long Range Planning for Small Libraries" and it's very helpful. Dr. Michele Otstott is the trainer and she provides participants with sample vision & mission statements, worksheets, a laundry list of goals and objectives and a template for what to include. You can go to ctls.net to look at the brochure and/or to register. If it's not possible to attend, I can send you the "New Planning for Results" book, which is the recommended format from PLDP.

What are the key elements of the plan? How many years must the plan reflect? Where is the documentation that explains the long range plan? -------------------------------------------- Dale L.

The completed Long Range Plan for a given individual library must be approved by the library's governing body by the end of *that library's* 2006 fiscal year. For example, if a library has a fiscal year that runs from July 1 through June 30, the current Long Range Plan must be approved by June 30, 2006. On the other hand, if a library has a fiscal year that runs from January 1 through December 31, the current Long Range Plan must be approved by December 31, 2006. Relevant text of System membership rule: (6) By local fiscal year 2006, a public library shall have a long-range plan that is approved by its governing board. This plan must be reviewed and updated at least every five years and must include a collection development element. Library systems shall provide public libraries with the consulting and continuing education services necessary to develop these plans as part of the services provided under Section 1.47 of this part.
