This <br /> plan was updated in Spring, 2003, and continues to emphasize the importance of <br /> preservation, access, and outreach as essential elements of the service provided <br /> by the Northwest Room. Specifically, Strategic Initiative V states that "Everett <br /> Public Library represents our heritage and brings people together to build a sense <br /> of community." Goal VA states that the library "researches, houses, preserves, and <br /> documents the community's history."
