Library Administration Library Cooperation Library Facilities Library Networks Library Planning Library Services Long Range Planning Mission Statements Needs Assessment Public Libraries Shared Library Resources State Libraries Statewide Planning This document contains the long range plan of the Alabama public libraries.

The introduction to the report gives an overview of the duties and services of the State Library Agency. The needs assessment component is then presented. It covers the following areas: public libraries; the library public, including persons with disabilities, the disadvantaged, minority, institutionalized, elderly, and limited-English speaking populations; and interlibrary cooperation and resource sharing. The mission statement and library roles are also presented. Finally, the following goals are presented, each with correlating objectives and tasks: (1) to provide information resources; (2) to provide for new construction or renovation; and (3) to support resource sharing. Appended materials include maps showing the public library systems and independent libraries in Alabama, statistics on state and county populations by selected characteristics, and a glossary of acronyms used in the report.
