Outreach Needs Assessment Report

Thanks to all the staff members who attended the board meeting last night- it was wonderful to have your participation. The Outreach Needs Assessment presentation was quite long, but very powerful. I hope you learned a lot from it, and most of all, I hope you aren't wasting your time blaming anyone or anything for any criticism we received. I'm not. I'm looking forward.
This is a new dawn for the library in many ways. Our foundation couldn't be stronger. That foundation is based on the community's trust that you have built over the years. No matter what happened in the past to ruffle feathers, the most important fact is that every organization interviewed wants very much to work with us. YOU are the reason for that. You have worked hard and your intentions have been good. You are very much loved by your community.
Thanks to every one of you who have worked so hard to provide wonderful outreach services! You are truly appreciated! I hope you feel a renewed passion to continue in this important work and will lend your talents and ideas to an exciting new plan of service that's sure to delight the community!
