Calvert Library is embarking on a strategic planning process to shape its services and programs for the next 3-5 years. As part of this effort, the library is seeking input to ensure it continues to meet the evolving needs of our community.

Led by planning consultant, Due East, there will be community listening sessions for various constituencies, key informant interviews as well as the community survey you are asked to complete by March 4, 2025.

“Community input is vital as we plan for the future,” said Carrie Willson, Executive Director of Calvert Library. “We want to hear from residents about the resources, programs and services that matter most to them. The survey is an easy way to have a voice in shaping our library’s future.”

If you are interested in participating in a community listening session, contact Robyn Truslow at robyn.truslow@calvertlibrary.info or please attend the screening of the movie Free for All: The Public Library, scheduled for Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at 6pm at Calvert Library Prince Frederick. Hosted in partnership with Friends of Calvert Library, Maryland Public Television, and PBS Independent Lens, this special screening offers a chance to see the documentary before its official debut. Following the film, attendees will have the opportunity to provide input on Calvert Library’s future plans as well as learn how to be effective library advocates.
