Goals for 2006

Once the needs are assessed, goals can be set. "Recent planning efforts of the Library have focuses on these two key goals- in fact, outreach is the priority for 2006, and it has been declared "Year of e-Literacy." The vision of the library addresses financial goals as well, revenue generation and the establishment of sponsorships and partnerships.
The Annual Report does not address the objectives the Library will use to meet these goals. In order to be successful in reaching these goals, the Library must address the methods that they will use to reach these goals.
The Library has established a vision to reach its long term goals.

Vision
The Mississauga Library System will strive to develop its services and resources for 700,000 residents in 2006 to meet the needs of the City's ultimate population in 2021 in a way designed to allow the library user to do it themselves ("user do"), to connect with the wider resources of the wired world ("e-library"), and to develop alternative funding (revenue generation) and support mechanisms (sponsorships and partnerships) in order to reduce tax based support for a major and outstanding public library.
