From the desk of Kim Kietzman...


Fresh from Nashville and my newly acquired southern drawl finally gone, I’m ready to help you create meaningful and useful long range plans. If in the past you have shied away from Planning for Results because of the time commitment or other issues, rest assured the program is scalable and can be made to fit usefully into any size library. It’s the best way to run your library effectively and with the wisest use of those precious tax dollars. Call me to talk about it anytime!


Thanks to Faye Clow (Bettendorf), Kelly Patterson (Salem) and Suzann Holland (Oskaloosa) for their willingness to help us rank our candidates for the consultant position. We have some really strong candidates and I look forward to seeing how our librarians in the field feel about them. Once their assessments are back, we will schedule interviews in mid December and have someone hopefully hired before the holidays and ready to start in January. We’ll keep you posted!
