How do I?

Overview

Poudre River Public Library District developed a multi-year Library Master Plan to establish the vision of library service in our community in the 21st century.

The District partnered with Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning to assess current offerings and make recommendations for library services over the next 10+ years. The project included various components designed to provide insight into how the District can expand services, programs, and collections to meet customers’ current needs and forecast the needs of a growing and changing community.
