Dear Tacoma Public Library community and stakeholders,
We’re thrilled to share our 2030 Strategic Plan, a vision shaped by your input through surveys and conversations. This plan focuses on what matters most to our community: equity, access, and partnerships.
Our goal is simple yet powerful: to ensure every person in Tacoma can discover, connect, create, and thrive. From expanding culturally relevant collections to deepening collaborations with schools and local organizations, we’re committed to making the library radically welcoming for all.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our surveys and responded with thoughtful input. Your voices inspire us every day:
“Libraries are the most important public buildings we have. They strengthen democracy.”
“I can’t imagine life without the library—it’s my home away from home.”
“We love you, Tacoma Public Library! You are a valuable resource and asset to our community.”
Explore the full plan online and join us in shaping the next five years of library service. Together, we’ll build a stronger, more connected Tacoma.
With gratitude and excitement,
Library Director Amita Lonial
