The Harney County Library Advisory Board recently completed a 2013-2018 Strategic Plan to guide the direction of library services and programs into the next five years. This plan was compiled using the results of a community survey. Read a copy of the Strategic Plan here. Library Funding General library services are funded through the Harney County General Fund and a portion of the Claire McGill Luce Fund which is managed by the Foundation. The Luce Fund was released to the Library Foundation in July 2006 by the Harney County Court. A spending agreement between the Library Foundation and the County Court guides expenditure of these funds. The Library Foundation has invested the Fund with The Oregon Community Foundation as an Endowed Fund. Additional donations and bequests are also managed by the Library Foundation for a variety of library programs. |
