Strengthen Patron Credential Security and Access Controls
Cybersecurity · Data Governance
High Priority
About this project
The library currently lacks enterprise password and credential management controls, leaving patron account data and access systems exposed to credential-based threats. Without documented endpoint credential safeguards, the library faces meaningful compliance and data integrity risk affecting the communities it serves.
The opportunity
An established annual IT and software spend signals readiness to act, and the absence of an incumbent solution means implementation can move quickly without displacement complexity. Addressing this gap now supports patron data stewardship, aligns with access-control compliance expectations, and fits within the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Equity · Accessibility Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The library maintains an accessibility statement but faces potential gaps in meeting WCAG 2.1 standards, creating legal exposure and barriers for patrons with disabilities. With digital services and public computing as active priorities, unresolved accessibility gaps undermine equitable public access and mission delivery.
The opportunity
Aligned federal grant programs through IMLS and NEH offer a clear funding path for digital accessibility improvements with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current grant window reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and supports the library's ongoing commitment to inclusive public services.
Endpoint & Device Management for Public Libraries
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
No enterprise endpoint management platform is in place, leaving public-facing and staff computers without consistent patch management, device oversight, or operational controls. This gap increases exposure to security incidents and service disruptions that directly affect patron access to digital services.
The opportunity
With no incumbent solution in place, this is an ideal entry point to establish foundational device governance ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint management now reduces operational risk, supports continuity of public digital services, and may align with available state or cooperative funding channels.
Close Emergency Preparedness Gaps in City Operations
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Potterville lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan and has no city-level mass notification system, with county infrastructure only partially filling the gap. These deficiencies elevate risk to residents and staff during time-sensitive emergencies.
The opportunity
Preparedness gaps at the city level create immediate compliance and operational risk, and current grant windows support emergency planning and notification initiatives with limited local match requirements. Acting now positions the city to align with county-level coordination and strengthen community resilience ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
