"Museums and libraries provide Americans with access to vital collections, information, and opportunities that can be life-changing," said IMLS Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew. "We hope this strategic vision will open up new conversations, inspire meaningful collaboration, and help museums and libraries improve the well-being of their communities." The new plan outlines four strategic goals that will underpin the agency's programs and services: 1. Promote Lifelong Learning: IMLS supports learning and literacy for people of all ages through museums and libraries. 2. Build Capacity: IMLS strengthens the capacity of museums and libraries to improve the well-being of their communities. 3. Increase Public Access: IMLS makes strategic investments that increase access to information, ideas, and networks through libraries and museums. 4. Achieve Excellence: IMLS strategically aligns its resources and relationships to support libraries and museums nationwide. Developed with input from a wide variety of community stakeholders, as well as IMLS leadership, staff, and board members, the agency invites a continuation of the conversation through three Twitter chats: January 17, 24, and 31, focusing on learning, capacity building, and access.
