6. S.W.O.T. analysis K LAND PUBLIC LIBRARY Sarah

7.  KLPL has a well organized & capable staff.  KLPL has 5 online access computers  wireless service and  computer training classes  Grant funding: expand the number of computers for library users and staff  Located downtown  Interesting architecture  On main bus route STRENGTHS Sarah

8.  KLPL is not an obvious main attraction.  many of the residence do not know the location of the library.  library is in a small building off of the main street.  Many of the services are outsourced to other locations.  Limited operating hours of the library. Residence would like the library to that take into consideration shift work.  staffing issues,  transportation service hours and the fluctuation in shift hours at the Kandy Factory.  Online services need to be developed more to attract “digitally” oriented library users WEAKNESS Sarah

9.  KLPL is placed in a great spot in Candyland. The library is downtown on a major transportation route and has lots of room to expand.  The library has the capability to teach Candyland residents new job skills.  The library could easily expand the technologies classes to include job opportunities, retraining and creating a new business. OPPORTUNITIES Sarah

10.  Bookstores duplicate services and provide a coffee shop atmosphere.  Bakers and Nibbles has a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.  KLPL has rules prohibiting any food or drink in the library.  King Kandy must be convinced that the library is still relevant and he is not sure a tradition library is effective in the digital age.  Since he is the major benefactor the library needs to convince him that the library in a traditional sense is still relevant while growing into the digital community.  The library needs to expand its online services and offer & make available a greater number of public access computers.  The library needs to develop a user-friendly website as access to the library on ‘off hours’.  The library needs to develop an online presence utilizing social media for example FaceBook, Twitter, Pinterest and other relevant platforms.
