2024 Annual Report
In Fiscal Year 2024, our circulation and visitor numbers increased as our dedicated staff made tremendous efforts to welcome people back into our spaces and reconnect them with our services. We ramped up our outreach initiatives and successfully revived many large-scale programs that were put on hold or reduced during the pandemic.
We have also seen continued growth in digital circulation and database usage, as well as increased use of our computers and meeting rooms.

The Road Ahead
We are pleased to present the Cedar Rapids Public Library’s 2023-2025 Strategic Plan. Three years ago, we created a strategic plan based on the priorities of Literacy, Access, and Inclusion. We have worked diligently in those areas, and after much research, community discussion, staff input, and data analysis, we recognize there is still work to do. Our next three-year plan will continue to focus on these strategic priorities.
As we continue to emphasize Literacy, Access, and Inclusion, we will strive to connect people to information, experiences, and services to enhance their quality of life.
