Staff Report
BUDA – The city of Buda is looking for people to join a new Library Strategic Planning Committee (LSPC). Applications will be accepted through 5 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 24.
The LSPC will advise and provide guidance to the city council and staff regarding the library’s strategic plan update. The city wants a resident's point of view to provide valuable input into the city's operations and decision-making process.
“Ultimately, we are striving to get broader citizen input and engagement,” said Buda Library Director Melinda Hodges. “This body will be considering Buda-area demographics and a variety of other city-related plans, performing SWOT analysis and analyzing a community survey in order to determine overarching goals for the Buda Library over the next five years. Being a current library user isn’t required; we want to hear from community members with different experiences and opinions.”
The work the LSPC conducts also affects the Buda’s Library’s accreditation status by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
Interested residents may apply by completing the online application form at http://www.ci.buda.tx.us/FormCenter/City-Clerk-ApplicationRegistration-5/2021-Board-Application-Form-72 on the city's website.
