Letter from the President of the
Brooks Memorial Library Board of Trustees:
August 2012
Welcome to the Brooks Memorial Library 2012-16 Strategic Plan. We are proud to present to the
community this new plan, which identifies the “Service Priorities” that will guide the actions of
the library trustees and staff for the next five years. As we developed the plan, we kept in mind
the evolving needs of our patrons, the constantly changing technological advances, and
especially the role of our library as the center of our community.
In 2011, the Library staff and the Trustees began the strategic planning process of updating our
2007-2011 Plan. Through staff retreats, written and on-line surveys (including two at the middle
and high schools in Brattleboro), many committee meetings, and two community forums
involving over 40 invited members of the community, the Library’s Strategic Planning
Committee has developed this, our fifth, plan.
We hope as you look through this plan and the demographic data about the town of Brattleboro,
along with the results of the surveys and the community forums, you will see this as a living
document. We expect it to change based on the new realities of the next five years, but these
changes will always be made in order to connect to the needs of our patrons and of the
community where we live.
I would like to thank the library director, Jerry Carbone, who guided this process; Amy Howlett,
Vermont Department of Libraries, Regional Consultant, who got the process started; Christine
Friese, Assistant State Librarian, for her facilitation at two public meetings and the staff retreat;
the library staff; the Friends of the Brooks Memorial Library; the Trustees of the Library; the
Strategic Planning Committee; the members of the Community Forums; and all the community
members who share the goal of keeping the Brooks Memorial Library a strong and vital part of
the Brattleboro community.
We hope you will read this plan and send us suggestions. We will be monitoring the plan
throughout the next five years and making additions and changes, as needed by the community.
Thank you for your support of the library.
With best wishes,
Elizabeth Tannenbaum
President, Brooks Memorial Library Board of Trustees

Executive Summary
The Brooks Memorial Library’s 2012-2016 Strategic Plan sets ambitious goals that simultaneously acknowledge our
community’s growing need for library services, and its static or diminishing ability to fund those services. The Strategic
Planning Committee has developed this plan, with tremendous community input and support, keeping in mind some
fundamental truths about Brattleboro and its surroundings.
Brattleboro is a community that values education. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, more than 40% of residents over
18 have attended college; while 13.8% have advanced degrees. Nevertheless, this is also a community in which at least
50% of the population lives in rental housing and between 56% and 71% of children who attend Brattleboro elementary
schools qualify for free or reduced lunch. Finally, Brattleboro is a town of library users. As of June 2012, 8,293 1 people
held active library cards. Brooks Memorial Library also ranks in the top 10 among public libraries in Vermont in
circulation (6th); per capita program attendance (5th); per capita visits (4th); and per capita reference questions (3rd). It ranks
1st in two measures: interlibrary loans to other libraries and number of juvenile programs offered.2 And yet, the library’s
materials budget from Town tax sources (books, reference materials, nonprint) has been level-funded since FY 2002
($64,752 vs. $65,850) and hours open to the public have been shortened by 10% in FY 2011.
Keeping these issues in mind, the Strategic Planning Committee developed this plan through a year-long process which
included staff retreats, written and on-line surveys, a rigorous schedule of committee meetings, and two community
forums during which nearly 40 members of the community gave eight hours of their time to envision and discuss
upcoming priorities for the library. For a full report of the Strategic Planning Committee’s activities and timeline, please
see Appendix A.
The data collected from the surveys reveal what people use and value most in the library. (See appendices D and E for full
survey information.) A summary of the community survey shows that nearly 75% of respondents used the library at least
11 times in the previous three months; 90% used the library to checkout materials; 44% attended a library program; 32%
came in to view art work and displays. The highest valued service responses were “early literacy: create young readers,”
and “satisfy curiosity: lifelong learning.” The survey showed a high level of use of online features, such as the online
catalog (67.9%), “My Account,” (57.8%), and the library’s online electronic databases (28.1%). To the question that
asked users if they were satisfied with services, respondents ranked the library’s customer service as high, (4.7 out of 6
rank score) 3. People were somewhat dissatisfied with physical access to the library, ranking “hours open” just 3.9 out of 6.
While the BUHS/BAMS survey also showed frequent usage by many respondents, with 37% using the library at least
once per month, there were 19.6% who used the library less often than once per year and 22.1% who had never used the
Brooks Memorial Library. We found that 53.4% of the students get their books from the school library. Over 30% of the
students had transportation problems getting to the Brooks Memorial Library, nearly 9% did not even know how to obtain
a library card, and 14.1% did not know if the Brooks Library would be useful to them.
The Library, at its core, is an organization devoted to serving its patrons and its community. Therefore, the most important
role of the Strategic Plan is to identify the “service priorities” which will guide the actions of the library trustees and staff
for the next five years. Five such priorities were chosen by the Strategic Planning Committee and are described on pages
7 through 11 of this plan.

The Brooks Memorial Library—A Brief History
The Library’s earliest incarnation was as a private lending library, which began in 1842. It operated that
way until 1882, when the town voted tax funds for its support. For many years it was housed in various
buildings downtown. In 1886, a wealthy W. Chesterfield New Hampshire resident, George J. Brooks, donated
funds for the construction of a library building, which was then built on the current U.S. Post Office parking lot.
That former Brooks building was razed in 1966 and, in 1967, the town and BML trustees came up with funds to
build the modern library that we are all familiar with today.
Since 1967 there have been many changes. The new building attracted many area residents and, since
Federal funds were used, all Vermont residents were eligible to receive a free card. This policy changed 15
years later when, in one of the recessions of the early 1980’s, the trustees voted to institute a nonresident fee of
$20 per year. The fee, charged only to residents who did not live in Brattleboro, allowed patrons to borrow the
three formats available at the time—books, magazines, and vinyl recordings.
As the years advanced, changes came more quickly. In 1995, with computing power going up,
technology prices decreasing, and grant money and town capital funding becoming available, the trustees and
staff began the process of automating library services. The primary task was to convert all catalog records to
“machine readable” formats, and the first “integrated library system” (ILS) was installed. All patrons were
issued new library cards with bar codes, and terminals replaced the traditional card catalog. This ILS lasted
until 2004, when another grant round purchased a new ILS with a web based card catalog that is accessible any
time of the day from computers outside of the library.
During the decade of the 1990’s, the Friends of the Library—an advocacy and fund raising group—was
established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, with its own executive board. By 2012, the Friends has grown to be a
major financial supporter of library services through events that include three book sales per year. Also, in
1991 the library began its strategic planning process and in the intervening years four strategic plans have been
published.
In 2001 the Vermont Public Library Foundation awarded large grants to Vermont public libraries.
(Vermont is one of just a few states that do not provide per capita support to its libraries.) In 2001, this private
foundation granted funds for three years, based on local tax support. Brooks Memorial Library then
accomplished many things, such as cataloging all special collections, updating and refreshing over 10% of the
library’s nonfiction and fiction collections, expanding non-print areas, and providing funds for the current ILS
web-based catalog.
Since 2004, with a web based catalog and new home page, Brooks Memorial Library has had many of
its resources online and available to the community from their home computers, smart phones, and tablets. In
2008, downloadable audio became available for card holders and, in 2011, Brooks added downloadable eBooks
to the items that patrons can borrow. BML has come a long way since 1967 when the only available formats to
check out were books, magazines, and vinyl.
Appendix A provides a snapshot of historical graphs that show the way patrons, since 2001, have been
using the library—from its space, to its collections, to its increasingly available online resources. These are
trends that will be influenced in the future by technology, funding, and the demographics of the Brattleboro area
community.

Library Service Priorities 2012-2016
Introduction
The library service priorities are derived from the Public Library Association, a national
organization assisting in the development of effective library services and staffing
models. After receiving voluminous input from the community forums and the
community survey, the Strategic Planning Committee chose five of the 17 service
priorities identified by the PLA. The committee, in concert with the library staff, then
came up with objectives to achieve in pursuit of each service priority, as well as detailed
tasks to accomplish those objectives. These priorities and objectives are listed below. A
list of tasks to support the objectives is available.
I.
Support Young Readers From Early Literacy On.
Our surveys taught us that children and their parents use the library frequently and that
we must continue to develop our collection for this age group. This will encourage more
children to become card-holders. In addition, this service priority strives to make the
library relevant to teens and young adults who currently do not use the library with great
frequency.
A.
Expand the Beginning to Read sections in the Children’s Room
with new series of both fiction and nonfiction titles.
B.
Integrate ideas learned from the Vt. Department of Libraries Early
Literacy Initiative into the weekly Rhyme Time program.
C.
Develop and expand collaboration with BUHS/BAMS that will
result in better communications and increased library usage by students and
faculty.
D.
Explore the creation of YA teen advisory board for acquisitions.
page 6
II.
Satisfy the Curiosity of Library Users Through Life- Long Learning.
Our demographic research shows that a large number of our library users are over sixty.
For these patrons, as well as for others, continuing education programs are extremely
important. The library will seek to maintain and expand the work it already does in
providing life-long learning opportunities, such as lecture series and other educational
opportunities.
A.
Continue to host the First Wednesday’s Lecture Series sponsored by the
Vermont Humanities Council.
B.
Develop and foster partnerships for programming with community
organizations such as Vermont Partnership, BDCC, the Chamber of
Commerce, Windham County Career Center, BMH, and Retreat Healthcare,
among others, to address mutually identifiable community needs.
C.
Explore feasibility of offering evening and or weekend programs for parents
and children.
III. Connect to the Online World and Help Library Users Find, Evaluate,
and Use Information
Increasingly, the library has become a vital link to the Internet and the vast resources
available electronically, especially for those who have been left behind in the digital
divide. The library is the first and only free point of access to electronic information for
many community members. Also, as the digital shift from print to eBooks and other econtent continues, the library will need to stay relevant to all, especially the younger
digital users. While the library already performs exceptionally by providing access to a
wide range of reference databases not otherwise available to the general public, it will
improve its website—a fundamental element of any institution in the twenty-first century.
A.
Redesign the library’s web site to improve navigability, enhance content, and
make it easier for staff to update.
page 7
IV.
B.
Implement migration to Evergreen Open Source library software that will
join with five other libraries in the Catamount Library Network to enhance
resource sharing to our patrons.
C.
Upgrade all staff and circulation computers and parts of the network
hardware to take full advantage of the high speed broadband, Vermont
Fiberconnect.
D.
Upgrade staff skills with tablet computers and new web site platforms to
download electronic content.
E.
Develop new programs to assist patrons in the use of tablet computers, as well
as the library’s new web site platforms to download electronic content.
Stimulate the Imagination of Library Users Via Resources for Reading,
Viewing, and Listening.
This service priority addresses the library’s continuing obligation to develop its collection
of books, electronic resources, music, artwork, and information. We do not maintain the
collection simply to have it; we collect because the library is a partner with its patrons in
expanding their horizons.
A.
Increase the number of nonprint (DVDs, CD’s, eAudio, Streaming
Video) titles over FY 2012 acquisitions. Create budget and funding sources to
address needs.
B.
Maintain the number of print book and serial titles with current budget
support.
C.
Integrate the use of tablets, eReaders and eBooks into the collection
development plan.
D.
Add at least one new electronic database each year. Create budget and
funding sources to address needs.
page 8
V.
Provide Access to Welcoming Physical and Virtual Spaces for
Library Users.
The library is one of the few neutral and freely open-to-all spaces in the
community. This service priority recognizes that the library creates spaces, both
physical and virtual, by its presence in the world. Our users will enjoy their
experience more if these spaces are accessible, welcoming, and easy to use.
Therefore, we have identified physical changes to consider, as well as ways to
improve remote access to our electronic collection.
A.
Explore the feasibility of increasing library operating hours from 50 to 56.
B.
Review space use in the library to identify areas that will address community
needs for quiet study, small group meetings, patron technology use, parents’
and toddlers’ comfort, and eating and drinking.
C.
Promote availability of the meeting room and promote use of new
videoconferencing equipment to community groups for the purposes of
facilitating discussions ( film viewing, author programs, meetings) that may
enhance the connections between people in the community.
D.
Develop overall signage plan for the library that incorporates both directional
and informational signage for patrons to find rooms, spaces, and collections.
E.
Integrate library’s need for more general and accessible parking with the
plans for the renovations of the Municipal Center.
F.
Explore the feasibility of adding remote services points (not buildings), such
as “reference on the road” (with mobile devices), and adding book/nonprint
return drops.
G.
Preserve and enhance physical space dedicated to the library’s fine arts
collection.

Conclusion
The community forums and surveys were crucial in identifying the service
priorities, and staff input was vital as the committee decided how to work with
these priorities. Perhaps one of the most useful parts of this process was identifying
an ongoing role for the Strategic Planning Committee as the plan is implemented
over the next five years.
The Strategic Plan will not be static, nor will it sit on a shelf. The library staff will
continue to welcome and use feedback from library users, gained through short
electronic and print surveys. The Strategic Planning Committee will use such
information to ensure that services that enhance the value of library service to the
Brattleboro area will be refined. The library Board of Trustees encourages
community members to become active on the Board, with the Friends of the
Library, or as library volunteers.

Brooks Memorial Library Plan 2012-2016: Process and Timeline
The Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) was comprised of the Library Director, one staff
member, four members of the Board of Trustees, and an interested citizen. The committee met
twice a month from June 2011 through July 2012. The initial meeting was with Amy Howlett,
Regional Consultant for the Vermont Department of Libraries. She reviewed procedures to be
considered for the strategic planning process. Her suggestions included two four-hour
community meetings, with a staff retreat after the first community meeting.
For the two community meetings, the SPC members contacted a total of 85 people by phone,
email, or letter. The intent was to include a diverse cross section of the Brattleboro area in terms
of age, interest, and occupation. Their collective input would provide the foundation for the
library’s future plans.
Assistant State Librarian, Christine Friese, was the facilitator for the first forum held in the
Meeting Room at Brooks from 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm on September 15, 2011. The purpose of this
first meeting of the Library Community Planning Task Force was to provide an overview of the
Brattleboro community and to gather ideas for what Brooks could and should provide in the
future. After general discussion, the 40 participants divided into smaller groups led by six SPC
members to brainstorm ideas for library service responses. Christine gathered and summarized
all the suggestions and sent them for review during the staff retreat.
A retreat for all members of the library staff was held from 9:00 am to noon on September 29,
2011. This included an overview of Brooks’ current mission and services, discussion
and prioritization of the community responses from the September 15th meeting, and a walk
through the Library’s three floors to consider improvements.
During the second Library Community Planning Task Force meeting, on November 3rd, the
service responses were discussed, revised, and narrowed to ten.
From October through December 2011, a five-page community survey was distributed to 3900
recipients via Constant Contact. It was also posted on the library’s web site and hard copies
were available at the front desk and in the Children’s Room. Four hundred surveys were returned
and the responses were reviewed during several SPC meetings. In January 2012, an abbreviated
survey was distributed, in person by trustees and staff members, to students at Brattleboro Union
High School and Brattleboro Area Middle School. Suggestions from these 160 completed
surveys were also considered by the SPC.
The information provided by both these surveys, the service responses from both community
forums, and the input from the staff retreat were compiled and narrowed to a list of the top five
Library Service Priorities at the February 12, 2012 SPC meeting. The library’s three supervisors
were then asked to provide attainable goals for their staff in support of each of the five library
service priorities.
Appendix A: Process and Timeline
The Brooks Memorial Library in 2012— A Snapshot
CIRCULATION, REGISTRATION, & PROGRAMS
Annual circulation—Reflects the number of
items checked out or consulted in-house. This has
risen with increased funds for acquisitions, and
has decreased with reduced budgets. The
decreases in 2011 can also be attributed to six
fewer hours the library was open each week, due
to a budget reduction in July 2010.
Annual Registrations—The number of new
borrowers taking out library cards or nonresident
renewing their cards each year. Graph also
reflects an increased number of public access
computers and increased number of cards issued
to computer users.
Annual Life-long Learning Programs— The
library of the 21st century provides a variety of
opportunities for learning. Early literacy
programs in the Children’s Room and adult
programs such as Vermont Humanities Council
and First Wednesday Lectures, will continue to
attract children, parents, and adult learners to the
building for talks, story times, and discussion of
topics of community interest.
Appendix B: Brooks Memorial Library in 2012—A Snapshot
REFERENCE SERVICES, PUBLIC COMPUTER ACCESS, & ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
Annual Reference Questions— In spite of the
popularity of Google and Wikipedia, the
reference department still answers many
reference questions.
Annual Public Computer Sessions— The
Library provides computers with high speed
access to the Internet, as well as assistance in
using it. BML is the only public institution in
Brattleboro providing both. Also offered is free
wireless service, which is heavily used. Funding
from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for
two grant rounds, plus fund raising from the
Friends of the Library, has increased the number
of computers from 4 to 20 in 10 years.
Annual Online Searches— Online information
is pervasive, but credible online information is
not generally available with a Google search. The
Library offers 37 databases from literary, to news
indexes (NYT and Brattleboro Reformer), to
language learning (Mango), as well as free online
video classes (Universal Class). Since 2001 usage
has quadrupled as the number of offerings has
increased
Appendix B: Brooks Memorial Library in 2012—A Snapshot
WEB SITE TRAFFIC AND PHYSICAL VISITS
Web site Traffic—The Library was an early
adopter of a web site, launching one in 1998. It
was revised again in 2007, which show the steady
growth in its use. With more online databases and
resources available, another design is planned to
make navigating to all parts of the web site easier
for the community.
Annual physical visits— Declines in 2010 and
2011 are the result of the library being open for
six fewer hours. This reduction was mandated by
budget reductions in the library’s personnel line
item, which necessitated elimination of 20 hours
of part-time staff each week.
