Schaumburg IL., August 1, 2007.  Dan Wiseman, Managing Partner, with Wiseman Consulting & Training (WCT) announced today that his firm has helped the Batavia Public Library District update its long range plan.  The library is exploring how its space is used and how to reach out to new groups in this fast growing Fox River Community. Focus groups and a community survey were used to provide data to a community planning team.  WCT utilized the newly revised Public Library Association Service Responses in this process. Included on the planning team were a number of representative teens who were able to provide valuable insights. One teen, who is disabled, provided a window into mobility issues. “Helping a library determine its direction is a core service for us” quotes Dan Wiseman.
