2 ] www.tusclibrary.org Director’s Notes It’s time to ring in a brand new year! Turning the page on the calendar is, perhaps, my favorite time of the year. It provides us each with a fresh start. An opportunity to make plans and to set new goals. As your Tuscarawas County Public Library turns the page to 2024, we too are setting new goals. The feedback you provided us in 2023 helped our Board, administration, and staff develop the goals and objectives of our 2024 – 2026 Strategic Plan. Meeting the needs of our community by providing all library users with what they need to live, learn, and grow is important to us. We are excited to roll up our sleeves and focus our efforts in 2024 toward achieving outcomes in the six strategic areas you identified to be important. I encourage you to read the full strategic plan on our website. We look forward to serving you in 2024. Happy New Year!
