its fiscal 2019 appropriations request to the Congress in alignment with the priority of the 14th Librarian of Congress: to expand access to the Library so that more of its resources are readily available onsite and online to Members of Congress and the American people. The fiscal 2019 appropriations request continues implementation of a modernization process across the Library to expand access, provide superior customer service, and ensure proper stewardship of the national collection. The Library will continue to be guided by its mission and the current strategic plan’s focus on service, collections, creativity, and collaboration. In addition, it will be guided by the planning concepts developed through the Library’s Envisioning 2025 initiative. Launched in the spring of 2017 with the aim of more clearly communicating the Library’s role and users and determining the direction moving forward, the envisioning work has set the foundation for the Library’s next strategic plan. Through its envisioning activities that included an opportunity for input from all staff, the Library more clearly defined its role in American life as that of a place for memory, knowledge, and imagination: Memory – Acquire, sustain and provide access to a unique universal collection Knowledge – Provide authoritative and objective research, analysis and information Imagination – Inspire and encourage creativity, promote and protect the work of American creators The Library’s direction forward, as defined in Envisioning 2025, will be more “user-centered.” The Congress will always be the Library’s foremost user, supporting intellectual freedom and democratic exchange and their legislative and representational duties. Users also encompass creators, inclusive but not limited to copyright users and stakeholders; individual learners of any age who seek understanding and knowledge through the Library’s collections and services; and connectors, or external communities such as libraries, schools, or other groups and institutions that connect users to the Library. The fiscal 2019 budget request includes program investments necessary to fulfill the Library’s role and move forward on the intent to be more user-centered. This request builds on and continues the modernization efforts initiated in 2017, and the fiscal 2018 request which carried a message of positioning the Library for the future, of information technology (IT) modernization, a strong workforce, and increased access. The Library continues to embrace modernization, not only of its IT but of its workforce, infrastructure, and collections stewardship. All three aspects of the Library’s role – memory, knowledge, and imagination – are interconnected and point toward effectively expanding access to its users. Program requests reinforce the Library’s role in these three areas as well as strengthen the shared capacity necessary for its
