Framing the Future: Advancing Strategic Planning for Rural and Small Libraries

The Montana State Library (MSL), in partnership with Library Strategies, launched Framing the Future: Advancing Strategic Planning for Small and Rural Libraries, an action-oriented approach to provide training in strategic planning to librarians and trustees. A grant of $171,913 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is allowing MSL to create and implement a regional project with North and South Dakota, Idaho, Wyoming and Arizona, to advance rural libraries’ planning efforts within a community engagement framework by 7/31/22.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through award RE-246273-OLS-20.
