A discussion of principles is included in our staff focus group sessions to gather input to help
guide the strategic planning process. The guiding principles list which is being used has been
revised based on earlier input from the Board of Library Trustees and in-depth strategic plan
working group discussions. We shortened the preliminary list of guiding principles to make it
more workable for focus group discussions. This entailed removing a few of the principles on
the earlier list because they were considered to be fundamental to DCPLs programs and
services or too internally focused. Some values we hold are not listed here but may still guide
our plan. These are concepts and are not a final list and will continue to be refined.
