CARPINTERIA, Calif., August 25, 2025- The Carpinteria Community Library (CCL) invites members of the public to review and provide feedback on its newly developed Strategic Plan, which outlines goals, priorities, and a vision for the future of the Library. The plan will be discussed by the City Council during the Library Board of Trustees meeting on Monday, September 8, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers (5775 Carpinteria Ave).
The Strategic Plan marks a pivotal step in the evolution of the Carpinteria Community Library, which has served the community since 1910 as California’s first county branch library. Now a municipally operated library since 2022, CCL continues to honor its legacy while looking ahead. The plan reflects on this rich history and outlines a forward-looking vision — addressing current challenges, identifying opportunities, and setting clear goals to guide the Library’s growth as a culturally rich, inclusive community hub.

Public participation is encouraged. Comments can be submitted in writing via email to [email protected] with the subject line “Library Strategic Plan Feedback”. Community members may also attend the meeting in person to share their input directly.
