Your missionYour mission• We think St. Tammany deserves better.• The library board needs your help to articulate a vision of
library service for St. Tammany Parish in the 21st Century:– How should St. Tammany’s library system grow? Are there
“peer” libraries for the library to emulate? How does future growth support current long-range plans?
– How should the library system be configured in the Parish? Main or “co-main”? Regional or community libraries? What is the appropriate mix?
– What defines a “main” or a “co-main” or a “regional” or a “community” library?
– How large should the branches be?
– Where should branches be located?
29
How do we get there?How do we get there?• Review existing resources and information
– Demographic, political, economic conditions in the Parish today and in the year 2015 (New Directions 2025)
– Local library use trends – Peer library comparative benchmark analyses– Other data sources???
• Develop alternate service scenarios– Simultaneous focus on the Parish at large and its individual communities– Type of branches– Number of branches– Distribution of resources
• Estimate space needs based on resource distribution models• Recommend the optimum facilities scenario(s) to the Library

work space, and meeting room space
• Divide that total by a factor ranging from 4 (which produces a generous allocation) to 6 (for a minimum allocation)
• Nonassignable space• Add the allocations for the first five types of space
• Divide that total by a factor ranging from 3 (for a generous allocation) to 4 (four a minimum allocation)
