How did Cedar Rapids Public Library become the recipient of the 2022 Jerry Kline Community Impact Prize? Executive
Director Dara Schmidt noted that the Board of Trustees’ confidence in leadership and staff was what enabled the library to achieve its ambitious goals.
According to
Library Journal, “What has made all the difference is that the library’s ideas, large and small, are developed with input not only from leadership and the board but from staff, residents—both patrons
and non-library-users—and partners.”
Learn how the CRPL board helped shape the library’s strategic plan, and how the board’s work and involvement
helped the library achieve its goals of working with community partners and stakeholders to become an invaluable community resource.
