Developed in partnership with the state’s library community, the Vision 2020 Plan affirms the ongoing value of libraries and provides a clear vision of what excellent libraries should look like. The Plan offers models of success that may be emulated by libraries throughout New York, and makes 60 inter-related strategic recommendations for libraries, library systems, the New York State Library, and the Board of Regents. Several essential themes run through the Vision 2020 Plan. Foremost, there is a recognition that the state’s 7000 libraries matter very much to the people of New York: libraries represent communities and they empower individuals. Libraries are adapting very quickly to ever-changing technology, and have continued to employ both traditional and contemporary methods to sustain their institutional commitment to several core values shared by all types of libraries.
