Primary focus areas in this plan include inspiring reading, improving accessibility and strengthening educational partnerships.

“We want to emphasize education; we want to emphasize literacy, but we especially want to emphasize reading and the joy of reading, especially so we’ll be focusing on our programming and our resources to make sure that all of that leads back to the joy of reading and what reading can really do to enhance someone’s life,” said Jessica Spitulski, executive director of the Erie County Public Library.
