Spokane Public Library is embarking on a strategic planning process called Vision 2030, an initiative that will guide the library’s services, spaces, and programs for the next five years. This plan will be shaped by data on library trends, community priorities, and—most importantly—your input.
Why Your Feedback Matters
Libraries are more than just places to check out books—they’re hubs for learning, creativity, and connection. Whether you visit the library for study space, technology access, job resources, or community events, your experiences help us understand what Spokane needs most. Your voice ensures that our services evolve to meet the changing needs of our city.
How to Share Your Thoughts
We are using ThoughtExchange, an interactive platform that allows you to:
✔ Share your own ideas about library services and priorities
✔ Rate the thoughts of others to help identify common themes
✔ See what matters most to the community
Your feedback will help shape how we improve our collections, programs, spaces, and accessibility for all. We would be grateful if you could spend some time sharing and rating your thoughts on library services in these categories.
