MLA Releases New Strategic Plan

Posted in Uncategorized

The Manitoba Library Association Board of Directors is excited to share our vision, mission, values, priorities, and objectives. The 2026-2030 Strategic Plan is the result of member input and thorough board discussions that took place for the purpose of establishing a clear, unified sense of priorities and direction.

The Manitoba Library Association conducted a membership survey designed to gather input from library workers across Manitoba. A total of 281 respondents shared their perspectives on professional development, advocacy, communication, and membership value, ensuring that the plan reflects the diverse voices of the library community.

Building on this feedback, a strategic planning workshop was held in November 2025 with the Board of Directors and staff, including reflection on previous work, review of mission and vision statements, and facilitated brainstorming to identify key opportunities, challenges, and priorities for the association.

We hope that all people associated with the Manitoba Library Association take some time to review the new Strategic Plan. The vision, mission, values and priorities outlined in this plan will guide future decisions and directions of the Manitoba Library Association.
