FY 2021-2022 BUDGET TOPICS FOR COMMENT General Budget Field not completed. General Government Field not completed. Operating Budget General Government Capital I support priority being given to the recreational facilities Budget (Eastern Greenwich Civic Center, Hamill Rink) and needed work on fields (WMS, GHS). These Town facilities are at risk of being unusable if these capital projects are not funded. Even with these funds, it will still be a number of years before their improvements/restoration will allow them to be used as so many residents wish. In contrast, the project proposed for Roger Sherman Baldwin Park seems to be more of a luxury that we may have to put off. Residents can enjoy the park as it is, and the project seems to only propose an aesthetic improvement. The downtown Greenwich area has a number of open green spaces where residents can walk, the park between the Havemeyer building and Town Hall, Bruce Park, and the area around Julian Curitis School. The EGCC, WMS and GHS field projects are much, much more pressing needs. Second, I support the residents who have called for the Town to actively pursue the NW Fire Station project. While I live on the opposite end of town, one of my children and several others from the neighborhood spend their week in the NW part of town at school.

    REPORT ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN 2012-2017 ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017 A B Message from the Library Director and Chair, Board of Trustees In 2011, we embarked on a strategic planning process to explore key issues facing Greenwich Library and to ensure we are responsive to the needs of Greenwich residents. Like public libraries across the country, we were at a crossroads, adapting to a world where more and more information lives in digital form, accessible anytime and anywhere, yet as well-visited as ever. After hundreds of hours gathering data, conducting a community survey and holding interviews with key stakeholders, the 2012-17 Strategic Plan was created. The Plan embraced the ever-changing challenges and opportunities for a 21st century library while providing a framework to advance the Library’s mission. Strategic initiatives were created under five key areas of focus to guide our operations and investments. Having earned our third five-star rating byLibrary Journal, we knew that it was important to preserve and build on our strengths. Providing a forum for cultural programming and civic engagement, promoting the academic and life success of Greenwich children, and providing technology tools and training were a few of the Plan’s foundational principles. We are pleased to share this report which highlights many of the important outcomes achieved over the past five years including having now earned our eighth five-star national ranking byLibrary Journal. The board and staff look forward to your partnership as we begin the development of our next Strategic Plan and continue to preserve our legacy as the “community treasure” that Greenwich Library has always been.
