CPL150: COMMUNITY VISION

PLAN

CPL Strategic Plan 2012-2014

Cleveland Public Library calls obstacles, such as hunger, illiteracy, and unemployment: Community Deficits.

The People’s University

CPL embraces its responsibility to fight these deficits by taking a strong STEP for our community’s future and providing:

• Safety - Safe places to learn all year round • Technology - Free access to all types of new technology • Education - Extensive & inspirational communities of learning • Preservation - A commitment to capturing and honoring history

Community Vision Plan

An effort to determine the appropriate services that will be offered at the Cleveland Public Library’s branch locations by 2019 through authentic engagement and valued input from community residents.

Current branches in Group 1:• South• Fleet• Woodland• Sterling

Community Vision Plan

A report will be produced for each group with recommendations tailored to each branch, which may include:

• Exterior architectural renovations • Concepts for reprogramming interior spaces• Outdoor site improvements • Framework for prioritizing library services • Streetscape enhancements • Creative ideas for bridging the digital divide • Partnerships with community organizations

Community Vision Plan

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Library has not made a decision regarding the future use of the Carnegie building. This Community Vision Plan is the public engagement process to arrive at an answer.

• There is no budget set for the South Branch recommendations. The library wants to know what the community needs are first, then plan financial investments accordingly.

• The definition of "21st Century Library" will be co-created by each branch community. The Cleveland Public Library recognizes each community has different needs and priorities.

NEW BRANCH BUILDING

Lease

+ Connection to Clark Fulton & Tremont+ Larger usable area to accommodate growth+ Preserve Carnegie library history+ Flexibility provided by two buildings+ Two known neighborhood anchors+ Could support Scranton Rd. Historic District+ Could support La Villa Hispana
