Welcome!

Dear Friends, Patrons, and Supporters,

It is with immense pleasure that we introduce the new Strategic Plan for Linda Hall Library. This document, crafted with a view to our shared values, marks a pivotal moment in our history. At the heart of our Strategic Plan are our newly drafted purpose, mission and vision statements. These declarations reflect a renewed commitment to being a center of discovery and a catalyst for innovation across the history, and the future, of science. Our mission focuses on empowering individuals through the dissemination of knowledge, and our vision aspires to create a world where information is not just accessible, but transformative.

The direction we are charting is clear and ambitious. While aiming to maintain our position as a prestigious collecting institution; our goal is also to amplify our impact. This means reaching beyond our walls and ensuring that the wealth of resources we offer truly makes a tangible difference in people’s lives.

As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we invite you, our valued community, to join us in this journey of discovery and impact. Your insights, participation, and support are not just welcome; they are essential to our success.

Together, we forge a future that upholds Herbert and Linda Hall’s legacy while redefining what it means to be a cultural institution in the 21st century.

With gratitude and anticipation,

Anne Dema, Board Chair
