Members of the Taylorville Public Library’s Long Range Planning Committee announced their efforts to update the plan to take effect May 1, 2012. A current long range plan is required by the Illinois State Library to fulfill the minimum standards for public libraries.

Public libraries are constantly trying to keep pace with changing technology consumer habits. Amidst these challenges, the constant will be that the Taylorville Public Library will go on serving as a valuable asset to the community by providing open access to information and ideas.

Public input is vital to a successful planning process. Community members are encouraged to complete a library survey available for an entry into a prize drawing. Prizes will be drawn at an informal brainstorming session to be hosted by the committee on Thursday, January 26 at 7:00pm with refreshments provided.
