Happy New Year!
Librarian's Corner

There is a hunger in this digital age to hear authors together, to participate in programs, to just be in a place, a community space. —Carla Hayden

DREAM IT, WISH IT, DO IT!
Here we are at the threshold of the New Year and January 3 is my 1 year anniversary as the Loomis Librarian. I can't thank my talented staff and the dedicated Friends of the Loomis Library enough for making my first year so fulfilling.

Loomis truly is a special community and it's wonderful to have solid ground to lay the foundation for continued growth.
Below are just some of the highlights from 2018:

What's Next for 2019?

Moving forward with the momentum gained in 2018, we'll begin with two strategic planning sessions. Our strategic planner, Jennifer Sweeney, will facilitate the meetings using the Survey results to help us understand and create plans to better serve this community. Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey.

And if you have something more to add please let us know what we can do to meet your needs!
