In 2018, a community-led committee created the SGPL Plan of Service (2019-2023) after examining what library programs and services should stay and go, what the library could do more and less; the committee then recommended three priorities to be delivered at a standard of excellence: Visit a Comfortable Place, Practice and Promote Inclusion, and Encourage Literacy. |
