===== Future of LFP ===== | ===== Future of LFP ===== | ||
+ | Priority stickies: | ||
+ | Funding - funding that isn't IMLS, sustainability, staff that isn't just Alison | ||
− | + | *What are our most pressing issues/needs as an organization?* | |
− | + | From sticky notes – biggest issue is FUNDING. Most funding comes from IMLS – largely alison's salary, some funds go to NYU, some funds are seet aside for our summer 2022 event. | |

− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Immediate priorities – | |
− | + | more staff | |
− | + | expanding membership re: racial and ethnicity identity, recruitment AND retention in LFP and libraries | |
− | + | local community education, local meetups | |
− | |||
− | |||

− | |||
− | |||

− | |||
+ | Short-term priorities – | ||
− | + | Worklife balance – | |
+ | A workshop? | ||
− | + | Newsletter – | |
− | + | Should it be a press release or internal? | |
− | + | Presenting to LIS students – something that can be shared publicly | |
− | + | Newsletter could be equivalent to our "annual report" | |
− | + | Maybe internal could be monthly, external would be quarterly – yearly, if quarterly isn't feasible. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Sustainable government structures – | |
− | + | Leadership beyond Alison? "Bus rate" – where would your project/institution be if members of your project/org were no longer involved. How do we expand our "bus rate"? | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Clairfying question – do we just want to set priorities or priorities and action items? Priorities and then share with larger group, then action items? This exercise is the making of a strategic plan, will share with larger group so that everyone can add to it. | |
− | + | Communication channel needed! | |
− | + | slack, something with threads, etc. | |
− | + | Dischord or something else? | |
− | + | Locally controlled communication models don't work very well. | |
− | + | Diaspora was mentioned, element could be an option that was previously discussed? | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Shared sense of mission is needed | |
− | + | creating a mission statement and a values statement should be in our future | |
+ | Bringing in more people | ||
− | + | Taking down ALA ;~P | |
+ | What do we want ALA to be that they are not? What do we need from that that we aren't getting? | ||
+ | Could ALA use their lobbying power more in general and more strategically? | ||
+ | Look at facial recognition laws in Boston – why isn't ALA signing on to that in support of local librarians/library orgs? | ||
+ | Get ALA to reevaluate their freedom to read statement – or do we just make something better? | ||
+ | Check in with current ALA members for recruitment? | ||

− | + | Networking/coalition building | |
− | + | Maintain social justice as pillar of org | |
