A coordinated and strategic plan for communication and outreach strengthens your library’s value by creating a common experience and understanding by your library community, including users, boards, administrators, and donors as well as search engines and social media networks. This plan keeps the library focused on objectives from the strategic plan and not straying beyond the plan, which could otherwise drain resources from what is trying to be achieved. This webinar outlines the purpose and development of a library’s values, mission, and vision statements, a strategic plan, a communication plan, and the embedding of that plan in organizational culture.
Learning Outcomes
In this webinar, attendees will learn:
- How to create a mission statement, vision statement, values statement, strategic plan, and, ultimately, a communication plan;
- How to embed these statements and plans in the organizational culture;
- How to apply specific tools and templates to create a communication plan for your library; and
- How to keep a communication plan an actively used resource in your library.
