CPL150: Community Vision Plan - Volume 1

By Mr David Jurca

The CPL150 Community Vision Plan is an effort led by the Cleveland Public Library to determine the appropriate services that will be offered at its branch locations in the future through authentic engagement and valued input from community residents.The CPL150 Community Vision Plan Volume 1 report includes recommendations for four initial branch communities:* Fleet Branch (Slavic Village)* South Branch (Clark-Fulton & Tremont)* Sterling Branch (Campus District & Central)* Woodland Branch (Central & Kinsman)In 2012, the Cleveland Public Library released its Strategic Plan to guide decisions and prioritize actions for the next three years. One of the strategic priorities outlined in the document is CPL150, an initiative to prepare the library system for its 150th anniversary in 2019. Preparation for this anniversary requires engaging the community in substantive conversations about the library's service model, fiscal situation, condition of library buildings, and the changing demographics of the city. What should the Library's neighborhood presence look like in 2019? Does every branch need to provide the same services? Can we design services and service delivery systems that are customized to individual neighborhoods, based on local need? The Community Vision Plan is intended to help CPL and the local communities collaboratively respond to these questions.This Volume 1 report articulates a wide-range of community priorities and reveals a clearer vision of the library's role in four target areas. Neighborhood asset maps, programming concepts, and visual renderings produced through this process enable CPL to now conduct a finer grain analysis of the operational costs, interior architectural feasibility, and financial investments required to commit limited resources appropriately. The CPL150 Community Vision Plan provides a roadmap for actions worthy to celebrate in 2019 and beyond.Learn more at: www.CPL150.org
