The application period for the 2022-2023 Small Library Strategic Planning Cohort is closed. Please contact Laura Damon-Moore at with any questions.

Are you looking for an efficient, cost-effective, and manageable way to do strategic planning in your small library and community? WiLS is pleased to announce that we have space for up to 10 libraries in the 2022-2023 Small Library Strategic Planning Cohort!

To be eligible for this cohort, a library must serve a community population of no more than roughly 5,000, have a strong interest in completing a community-driven and data-informed strategic plan, and have a director who can serve as the library’s point person for the duration of the cohort.

The upcoming cohort’s work will begin this October and final strategic plans will be presented in July 2023.

Participation in the cohort must be confirmed by August 31st. Libraries that would like to confirm their participation now can fill out this registration form. If you have questions or would like to be added to the list for email updates and reminders about the cohort, email Laura Damon-Moore directly at .
