The State Library strategic plan sets long-range agency goals and identifies specific objectives and strategies to accomplish those goals. Strategic planning coordinates the formulation and implementation of action steps and helps focus resources to achieve the best results possible.
The State Library strategic planning process is set on a five-year cycle of fiscal years and is required as part of the federal Library Services Technology Act funding received from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The plan is reviewed by the Iowa Commission of Libraries and approved by IMLS.
