A Lifetime of Learning Happens @ Your Library! Guiding Principles 1) Our Library as a Learning Center • Facilitating learning for all • Fostering literacy in all its forms • Providing access to all types of materials, information, programming and spaces 2) Our Library as a Community Center • Responding to community demographics • Engaging in community development • Enhancing city government • Practicing democracy and informed citizenry in action Section Two: GILIBRARY 2020 Planning Team The planning team for the 2018-2020 update to GILIBRARY 2020 is comprised of the Library Board of Trustees, Library Director Steve Fosselman, Librarians Celine Swan and Shaun Klee, and Library Assistant II’s Elle Supencheck, Jeanne Simons, Lori Medlin and Susie Cartwright. Citizen members of the GILIBRARY 2020 planning committee were gathered together in 2011 to produce the basic structure and planning initiatives in place throughout the year 2020. GILIBRARY 2020 is also focused on a much broader planning effort now in place: Grow Grand Island / A Grander Vision for the Heartland. Library representatives have become partners in implementing several Grow Grand Island initiatives and GILIBRARY 2020 reflects the scope of this broader community plan. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/24/2018 Page 24 / 37 2 | Page Section Three: Community Needs With the creation of Grow Grand Island/A Grander Vision for the Heartland, a rich matrix of community needs has been established. GILIBRARY 2020 dovetails our planning initiatives with the Grow Grand Island initiatives. Collectively, Grow Grand Island has produced the following five pillars representing the foundation of our community. Our public library is an essential partner in keeping this foundation strong as community needs are met. In large measure or small, our library services touch upon all five of the Grow Grand Island pillars. Following are the ways our community’s needs through Grow Grand Island and our library’s response through GILIBRARY 2020 most intersect. 1.1 specifically target small businesses 1.6 launch ENGINE - Engaging the Next Generation of Grand Island, Nebraska that cultivates the next generation of business leadership 2.2 enhance existing and potential future entrepreneurs 3.1 develop a positive self-image, encourage the community's own residents to be its best ambassadors, and increase resident engagement in community improvement initiatives 3.2 promote positive stories about Grand Island 3.3 develop long-range Corridor Improvement Plans and signature gateway beautification projects to Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/24/2018 Page 25 / 37 3 | Page promote positive first impressions upon entering the community 4.1 optimize career pathways and programs offered in area schools 4.2 expand the availability of two-year and four-year degree options in Grand Island, with consideration given to the potentially catalytic redevelopment role of a higher education presence and accompanying student population 5.6 continue to advance the development and utilization of unique assets in the community 5.8 work with the City of Grand Island and all relevant partners in the community 5.11 create an early childhood education plan 5.12 support the development of arts and humanities countywide and develop entertainment strategies for all of the communities 5.13 provide public transportation for all 5.14 encourage neighborhood associations to enhance community safety, host community activities, festivals, and reduce crime. 5.15 provide support for the region’s most vulnerable populations 5.16 enhance cultural engagement & understanding Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/24/2018 Page 26 / 37 4 | Page Section Four: Strategic Planning Goals and Objectives Our public library is a learning organization with dedicated, quality service-minded staff, volunteers, and board members. Together we seek continuous improvement and efficiencies consistent with available funding and citizens’ needs. Our library’s longstanding commitment toward collaborative, cooperative and effective partnerships is also key to the success of GILIBRARY 2020. This 2018-2020 strategic plan highlights new objectives within seven GILIBRARY 2020 goals. Most of these goals and objectives are also related to Grow Grand Island priorities as noted below. Estimated timelines and measures are provided as known at this time, with attention to short-term work consistent with the library’s current renovation project and long-term work that may extend even beyond 2020. Responsibility for implementation of this plan will rest with the Library Director, with daily operational responsibility delegated to the Librarians in teamwork with our Library Assistant II’s. 1.

Section Seven: Community Profile and Demographics Grand Island is Nebraska’s largest city outside of the Omaha & Lincoln Metropolitan areas. Grand Island’s 2017 U.S. Census population estimate was 51,390, an increase of 6% over the 2010 population count of 48,520. Incorporated in 1872, the vital city services of fire, police, gas/electric and public library were carved out during the town’s first decade and by 1884 the formal establishment of the Grand Island Public Library took place. As recounted in “History of Hall County Nebraska” by A. F. Buechler, “A board appointed by the city took charge and the service and equipment were gradually improved from year to year”. From its humble beginnings without a home but with a committed group of visionary board members, its first home within a law office above a bank building, a long term home as a Carnegie library, on through dedication of the Edith Abbott Memorial Library in 1974, expansion in 2007 and renovation in 2018 , the Grand Island Public Library maintains a vital role in serving our community through continual improvements. According to Buechler’s work, a party of thirty-five persons were engaged for the settlement of Hall County. Thirty in this party were “Germans from the Schleswig-Holstein territory, who had been a few years in the United States”. This immigrant heritage continues today with Grand Island as a wonderfully diverse place with its own unique demographics and community development prospects. Between 1990 and 2010 the composition of our community changed considerably, with our city’s Hispanic/Latino (of any race) population increasing from 4.79% to 15.8% in 2000 and up to 26.8% in 2010. Since 2010 this measure has increased further, with the most recent estimate at 29.6%. This compares to a statewide average of only 10.7%. Another unique aspect of our community is educational attainment. The percentage of Grand Island’s population 25+ years of age with a 4-year college degree or higher is 18%, compared to a statewide average of 30%. Grand Island Regular Meeting - 9/24/2018 Page 31 / 37 9 | Page Lifelong learning in a highly diverse community has its challenges and is at the heart of our mission and actions. Census, Nebraska Department of Education and Voicesforchildren.com resources (table below) point out several disparities between our community and county and statewide averages. This includes English Language Arts, Math and Science testing in 5th, 8th and 11th grade as well as high school, B.A. and M.A. degree attainment. As our children move into their teen years we see a much higher than average arrest rate and then as our youth graduate they move away in larger numbers. We have become increasingly diverse with a much higher than average percentage of Hispanic or Latino, with even larger differences in the diversity of our children, and of foreign born and non-English speaking persons. One reason this matters to our community: Grand Island Public Schools has indicated an enrollment that is increasingly diverse with over 52% of the student population being of Hispanic descent. Additionally, over 69% of their students are eligible for free and reduced priced meals. While GIPS's graduation rate is around 90%, only 65% of our students are continuing on to college and fewer into a successful career.
