1. Education & Literacy: All residents are literate, and their educational and personal goals are supported.

Education and literacy are foundational purposes of public libraries, and HPL excels at accomplishing these core activities. HPL’s storytime, homework help centers, and adult reader programs are all highly regarded. These programs provide essential support to various age groups and foster reading skills and learning from an early age through adulthood.

This plan articulates HPL’s vision for the future and how we will deploy our resources to achieve our vision over the next five years. It aims to sustain the Library’s existing strengths while fostering thoughtful innovation for the future. Having this plan will align our team and external stakeholders so we can more efficiently deploy our limited resources.

Below is the strategy’s framework and how the various components will work together to help us achieve our vision:

Personal interviews were conducted with government leaders, Library Commission members, Friends of the Hayward Public Library leadership, the Library’s leadership team, and other Library partners.
