- We launched our Mobile Library. It allows us to visit patrons in underserved areas, including apartment complexes and senior residences. Our Mobile Library went to schools and community events, reaching new people and sharing all that LPL has to offer.
- We debuted our Civics Hub. The hub provides non-biased information, activities, events, books, and movies on a variety of timely civic topics.
- We offered more than 1000 events and activities to educate, inspire, and engage patrons of all ages throughout the year.
- We partnered with Community Organizations. We partnered with the LCSD, Onondaga County Parks, the Erie Canal Museum, Onondaga Historic Association, and so many more local organizations. We collaborate with partners to bring the best to our community.
