The Library’s New Strategic Plan

Adult Programs, Adults

2023 – 2027

In 2022, we began a community wide planning process to develop our first formal strategic plan that we can best respond to and anticipate changes in our community and in families’ lifestyles. Conversations with residents, community and civic leaders, library staff, Trustees and Friends of the Library, informed this plan. Everyone we spoke with agreed that USRL has a special role to play in our community. The Library can become a vibrant gathering spot offering accessible community spaces, programs that appeal to people of all ages, and resources that can help lift-up everyone in Upper Saddle River. 

 Our Vision & Mission

 The inspiring vision for Upper Saddle River Library focuses on a future in which the Library is at the center of the community.

Upper Saddle River Library: the heart of our community

Our mission guides us in the choices we make for services and policies as well as in the way we interact with our community and community members.

Upper Saddle River Library inspires lifelong learning, creates possibilities and strengthens our community.
