Introduction
The City of Kennedale Texas is a community that has been experiencing rapid growth over the
last 15 years. It has convenient access to the south central corridor of Tarrant County by
Interstate 20 and Interstate 820,plus State Highway 287 and Business 287. Kennedale's
population growth is restricted like many other communities in Tarrant County by its own city
boundaries (for Kennedale that is approximately 6 square miles).
Libraries serving communities with rapid population growth often discover that their resources
do not meet the patron(customer) requests or needs. Facilities are often too small to
accommodate a relevant materials collection, seat people interested in study and research or
provide areas for programming (such as pre-school story times). Rapid population growth also
affects non-public areas of libraries such as storage and collection processing. In addition to the
above required spaces,public libraries are often the only community resource for many citizens
to access information through the Internet and through other electronic databases. Computers for
public use require specific amounts of space and increase the square footage required by a library
in order to serve the community. Recognizing the impact that an efficient, inviting, adequately
staffed, and sufficiently funded library can have on a local community and its quality of life has
driven a multi-billion dollar industry world wide. For example, Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft,
has recognized this need for well equipped libraries and has established the Bill and Melinda
Crates Foundation which grants funds to public libraries for the purchase of public access
computers and the necessary software.
Recognizing the need for direction, the Kennedale Public Library with approval from its
Advisory Board, contracted with NTRLS in 2000 for a consultant to help write its first Long
Range Plan. That plan became the priorities for the library as it grew from a small library with
one full-time employee and one part-time person to a full city department with two full-time
employees and three part-time people. The library used its plan to make the necessary changes
within its limited budget and space to better provide for the local community.
The 2000 Long Range Plan called for the following:
Goal 1: To enhance collection development so that The Kennedale Library has an increased
number and variety of materials to offer patrons in all categories of collection_
Goal 2: To offer programs and services to the community at large that will serve to entertain,
educate and provide public information to better serve the community of Kennedale.
Goal 3: To offer computer access to patrons for the purposes of research, education,
entertainment, and productivity.
Goal 4: To increase funding to the library from a variety of sources to ensure satisfaction of the
mission statement.
Goa15: To provide full automation of all Library transactions.
One of the major observations by the consult that helped create the 2000 Long Range Plan was
that the Kennedale Public Library needed a larger space in order to help reach their goals. To
answer this need, the library moved into a new 6,200 square foot building adjacent to the new
Kennedale Municipal Building in December 2006. 2,200 square feet of the building was
designated as the Kennedale Community Center and 4000 square feet was set aside for the
1
Long Range PIan: blueprint for the future....
The purpose of the long range plan is to create ways that the mission can be implemented. Long
range plans for libraries are just that-plans that are developed from meetings with local citizens,
library staff, the friends of the library and members of the library advisory board. Kennedale has
achieved so much over the last four years that dreaming up new goals has proven to be difficult.
But from the above mentioned meetings, some ideas have persisted and are now being presented
as our long range plans for the next five years.
What will the fixture bring? How can we help our community members meet their personal
needs? Where do we go from here?
Kennedale is looping to the future... What will 2015 demand of our citizens? What will our
citizens demand from their library?
