Once a decision has been made about whether to create or expand a library district, there will still be much work to do. Careful planning during the Planning Phase will help this work to go smoothly, so it is important to have plans made before entering this phase. This phase will then be largely a matter of carrying out plans that have already been determined.
Before we discuss what must be done when a successful creation or expansion of a library district has been achieved, we will deal with the issue of an unsuccessful effort. Since almost all unsuccessful efforts are based on the results of an election, we will discuss projects that miscarry only in terms of elections.
