Strategic Planning

Strategic Agenda | 2019–2024

In 2018, Bullitt County Public Library underwent its first official strategic planning process to form and articulate its mission, vision, values, and strategic goals. This was a thorough process that included input from staff and the Library Board of Trustees alongside community leaders, library patrons, and volunteers. The resulting Strategic Agenda will guide the Library’s effort to use its resources and opportunities for the maximum benefit to the community.

Please note: Due to the necessary shift of focus during the height of the pandemic, the original time frame for this plan (2019–2022) was extended in March 2022.

Facilities Master Plan | 2016–2040

As the population and needs of Bullitt County grow and change, it is the duty of the Library to respond by expanding its services and physical spaces. This document will serve as a guide for assessing the need for facility improvements and/or additions, along with the capital investments required to implement them and the ongoing funds to operate them, so that we may continue to meet the needs of the community for decades to come.
