Moline Public Library
“Linda’s strategic planning process was thorough yet easy to work into our busy schedule. Linda knew where to devote extra time the strategic planning process and adapted her process to ensure we all felt good about our final product. Linda also made herself available for questions and progress checks in the year after the plan was adopted. I would not hesitate to work with Linda Wastyn again on other projects”
