3. CPL150: COMMUNITY VISION PLAN

4. CPL Strategic Plan 2012-2014

5. Cleveland Public Library calls obstacles, such as hunger, illiteracy, and unemployment: Community Deficits. The People’s University CPL embraces its responsibility to fight these deficits by taking a strong STEP for our community’s future and providing: • Safety - Safe places to learn all year round • Technology - Free access to all types of new technology • Education - Extensive & inspirational communities of learning • Preservation - A commitment to capturing and honoring history

6. Community Vision Plan An effort to determine the appropriate services that will be offered at the Cleveland Public Library’s branch locations by 2019 through authentic engagement and valued input from community residents. Current branches in Group 2: • South Brooklyn • Brooklyn • Mt Pleasant • E 131st

7. Community Vision Plan A report will be produced for each group with recommendations tailored to each branch, which may include: • Exterior architectural renovations • Concepts for reprogramming interior spaces • Outdoor site improvements • Framework for prioritizing library services • Streetscape enhancements • Creative ideas for bridging the digital divide • Partnerships with community organizations

8. Community Vision Plan Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) • Library does not have a future plan for the Brooklyn Branch building. This Community Vision Plan is the public engagement process to create a plan. • There is no budget set for the Brooklyn Branch recommendations. The library wants to know what the community needs are first, then plan financial investments accordingly. • The definition of "21st Century Library" will be co-created by each branch community. The Cleveland Public Library recognizes each community has different needs and priorities.

10. OVERVIEW of COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FEEDBACK

11. Survey Feedback SOUTH: 101 BROOKLYN: 41 JEFFERSON: 42 FLEET: 52 TOTAL SURVEYS: 535 "Please list the name of the CPL facility you identify as your local branch."

12. Survey Feedback : Brooklyn

16. Q: Please offer 3 words that best capture your vision for the CPL experience in your area by 2019. Survey Feedback : Brooklyn

18. Q: If you could suggest an additional resource for your local branch, what would it be? Survey Feedback : Brooklyn • More space for kids • 3D printer • Job training program for youth • More foreign movies • All-ages poetry/story workshops • After-school help • Movie nights • Job resources • Food & drinks

19. The library is a valuable resource to the community, it should be more than just a place for kids to play video games. We need to involve all age groups in programs that enrich and entertain. The human touch is essential. Some libraries are too sterile and technology driven and lose human interaction. Let us not get too modern and lose basic human communication skills. Survey Feedback : Brooklyn Given vast amounts of data available today on internet, classes would be helpful to learn how to access for research whether for jobs, specific research projects, or general learning. We want our libraries maintained as the legacy they are. Respected. Valued at replacement cost.
