Plan of Service

Morinville Library Plan of Service 2020-2024

The Libraries Regulation requires boards to have a current plan of service, including a mission statement, goals and objectives, based on a community needs assessment. Our plan of service is created by the Morinville Library Board and sets our priorities for 5 years. You can download the full PDF of our Plan of service from 2020-2024 or view the highlights below.
