Best practices: Focus on mission and goals Successfully managing a library means doing the right things as often as possible. If a library’s resources are being channeled to objectives that have little or nothing to do with the library’s mission and goals for its community, the library is doing the wrong things right and probably will be unable to meet its real goals. Every public library, regardless of size, has four important resources to help meet its mission and achieve its goals in the community: staff; the library’s collection; technology, and the library facility itself. All need to be effectively managed for the library to achieve the right results. The key to successfully allocating resources is knowing what you want to accomplish. This may mean reallocating resources or evaluating library goals to be sure the library’s resources are used to ensure the library achieves its mission, serves the community, and gives patrons what they need and want. Having a plan and working the plan is the most efficient way to use the resources given to a library by its stakeholders. Writing a strategic plan that focuses on the factors needed to allocate resources, such as the number of professional staff needed; how to budget for library materials; the amount of space needed for programs; and the type and amount of software and hardware needed for the community served is the single most important use of time for managing librarians. There are lots of resources out there to help you get started, such as:
