Mashpee Public Library FY 2001 Action Plans Service Goals and Objectives Goal 1: Increase interaction between the Public Library and the School Department to better serve the needs of the community's school children and their parents. Action: Schedule meetings with school librarians and school reading specialists so the public library can provide some input into the makeup of the schools' summer reading list and be more aware of what's required of students before they come to the library for summer reading materials. Action: Schedule orientation sessions for teachers at the High School and provide packets orinformation on the types of resources available to teachers and their students at the public library. Evaluation: Count number of teachers who attend orientation sessions or request packets of information. Action: Survey teachers about the types of services the public library might provide for them and their students. Evaluation: Review survey results to see what services teachers are looking for. If adding services increases staffing requirements, factor that into upcoming budget request. Action: Increase the number of teacher cards issued to Mashpee teachers. Evaluation measure: Count the number of cards issued to teachers compared to FY 2000. Goal 2: Work with Friends of the Library and Library Trustees on Fundraising issues. Action: Assist the Friends of the Library in expanding the membership of their Fundraising Committee and explore sources of training for members of the committee.
