Pilot Project Updates

System-wide project tracking page

Good afternoon staff,

We have developed an intranet page for communicating system-wide projects that can be found under the Resources tab. We’ve begun by adding a few operational projects but expect to post more in the future. We will be posting updates to the projects as we go along. This page is for system-wide projects and local projects that might be of high interest to other libraries or departments. Let me know if you are interested in posting a project to the page.

Pilot Project Rankings

Thank you to everyone who participated in the first phases of the Pilot Projects. 173 people ranked their top 2 (attached). We are really excited about everyone’s ideas and wish we could implement them all.

Our next step is trying to scope out the top projects to determine how many we can feasibly do (possibly 5 or so). We also need to make sure that we have the capacity to complete any that are ranked at top.

Pilot Project Voting is OPEN!

Thank you for all of your pilot project submissions. We truly appreciate your innovative ideas and your energy for growing our communities in new and exciting ways. The Budget Team (assistant managers on up) reviewed all submissions and ranked their top five choices for implementation. This group also evaluated each project’s alignment with our core values and strategic goals. Lastly, they indicated whether they’d like to see our organization implement the project, and whether they believed the project would be cost-effective.

Pilot Project Update

Thank you to everyone who submitted a Pilot Project idea!  I continue to be impressed by the creativity of our staff and look forward to see the implementation of the final projects.

We want to hear your IDEAS for new projects

The library has allocated a portion of the budget to fund new and innovative products, services, and experiences. The Leadership Team is looking for pilot project ideas that would help advance our strategic goals (Library Unbound and SOaP). The pilot projects will likely be implemented in one, two, or three libraries (but not system-wide, unless it is a departmental project).
