The document provides guidance for developing a long range strategic plan for a school library. It recommends establishing a committee to guide the planning process and setting a timeline with clear goals and expectations. The plan should include an assessment of user needs, a mission statement, multi-year goals and objectives, and an action plan. It also notes the requirements for submitting plans to funding agencies to qualify for grants. Developing a 3-5 year plan will help prepare for changes and keep the library connected and relevant to its community.
