Outlook Twenty Ten: A Discussion Plan to Improve All Minneapolis Community Libraries is a framework for discussion submitted to the Minneapolis Public Library Board of the Minneapolis Public Library System in July, 1999.[1]

[edit] Referendum
Outlook Twenty Ten was drafted in anticipation of the people of Minneapolis, Minnesota approving a 140 million dollar referendum in 2000.[2] The framework was submitted to the Minneapolis Public Library Board by Amy Ryan, Chief of Community Libraries. When the referendum was approved in November, 2000, the Library Board turned to the plan.
[edit] Plan contents
The referendum designated 110 million dollars to creating a new Central Library.[2] The other 30 million dollars were to go to improvements of community libraries. The plan contained a profile of each of the 14 community libraries, including highlights of patron surveys.[1] It also contained at least three suggestions for every community library, entitled Options 'A', 'B', 'C' and onward.
[edit] Progress
The majority of the libraries have been renovated or repaired. An update on the plan came out in 2004, detailing the statuses of the libraries, and presenting a timeline for their completions.[3]
