Strategic Plan, Vision, Mission & Values

Overview

A strategic plan helps an organization plan its future. The Lisle Library District (LLD) has produced a Plan that is focused on Awareness, Resources, and Property. These focus areas will guide the LLD as we expand access, actively bolster lifelong learning, and increase awareness of Library resources to benefit all District residents. This Plan will advance the LLD forward for the next three years. 

The 2025-2028 LLD Strategic Plan was adopted by the Board of Trustees on August 13, 2025.
