KENEBUNK — Kennebunk Free Library launched its strategic planning process in January, the goal is to develope and implement a plan to guide the work of the library, its staff, and the board over the next three to five years. Now the library is asking for help from the community.
An online survey is accessible at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KFLcommunitysurvey or the link via the library’s website; it can also be picked up at the library.
It only takes a few minutes to complete. The deadline to participate is Friday, May 11.
“We are very committed to hearing the voices of library patrons and the community as we develop our plan,” said library Director Michelle Conners.
The board will finalize the plan in August.
To assist the Board of Trustees in developing its plan, the library has hired Starboard Leadership Consulting of Bangor, led by Jeff Wahlstrom, to provide planning support and to manage the “community stakeholder” process. Founded in 2005, Starboard has provided strategic planning and governance support to more than 150 Maine nonprofits.
Kennebunk Free Library is at 112 Main St. in Kennebunk.
