The Library is a happening place! In the past two years we have implemented new services, increased
staff, expanded our collections, especially our e-books, and we now have a new fundraising agency: the
Foundation for FCPL to help us out! I hope you have enjoyed this ‘info-graphic’ that gives you a pictorial
view of the Library’s activities. Please let me know what you think of this new way of reporting our activities.
I’d love to hear from you. Email me at: [email protected]
What’s next? Right at the moment we are working on a new Strategic Plan to guide us over the next three
years so we can keep this momentum of success going. In closing I want to say thank you to all of the
residents of Fresno County. We could not make this the great library system that it is without everyone’s
help and support. Together we can make our libraries better so they are here for many future generations.
Laurel C. Prysiazny, County Librarian
