Notes Korenowsky, "it is essential that our library has a plan in place that reflects the passion and the success of the staff and the depth of our programs and collections as we move firmly into the 21st century. Through a well executed upcoming community needs analysis and brand identity program, I am excited to start working with the executive leadership team to deliver visual and written messages that reflect our value to the community. Every effort the NHFPL puts forward will be operating with the customer in mind at every turn." |
