The purpose of the Palm Beach County Library System’s Strategic Plan is to guide the delivery of services over the next five years. It outlines a vision of outstanding Library service for residents of the Palm Beach County Library District and addresses community needs and emerging trends to maximize the Library’s impact throughout Palm Beach County. It also serves as a guide for the Library’s future development as a cornerstone of a well-informed and educated community.
