ALASKA MEMO: Wage with a Past, Cc u 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 9L. �4 Telephone: 907 283 -7535 FAX: 907 283 -3014 TO: Library Commission FROM: Mary Jo Joiner DATE: 30 November 2010 SUBJECT: Technology Plan and Goals and Objectives The draft Technology Plan in your packet is a minor update of the existing technology plan. The Library Commission generally revises its goals and objectives at the January meeting. Until we do that, the technology plan, which is somewhat related to those goals will remain in draft format. It may look something like the plan in the packet, but may also be revised. I have removed any goals and objectives from the previous plan that have been achieved over the last three years. As a reminder, we are no longer required to submit verification of an approved Technology Plan with our E -rate application. That verification generally is provided upon submittal to the Alaska State Library. It is, however, very helpful to have a plan on file which is why I am beginning the revision process. I am also including a copy of the 2010 Library Commission Goals and Objectives which will be a discussion item for our January meeting. 1 am mindful that the packets often are only available to Commissioners for a few days before a meeting and want to be sure that you have these for consideration since our meeting in January is scheduled for the 4` of that month. mwmnnmr 11101 1992 Mission Statement: Kenai Community Library TECHNOLOGY PLAN 2011 -2014 The mission of the Kenai Community Library is to provide a comfortable and friendly environment in which the public may: a.
