The map above shows the organizational system for the DC Public Library. The DC Library Board of Trustees in bold at the very top is where the structure begins and then falls down to the Executive Director. Each bold print in black is the head division manager. The library has a dedicated team of professionals that are very enthusiastic and are committed to making the library system the best for DC residents.

The District of Columbia Public Libraries are encouraged to develop information, reference, and directional services consistent with the goals of the community. Meeting the information needs of the community calls for a variety of resources and a broad understanding of the kinds of questions that patrons may need answered. The library must make sure that staff is well equipped with the necessary skill they need to provide good information service. Information can be considered as the raw material used in producing each and every decision taken in an organization. Organizations need to decide regularly on what objectives to be achieved, what actions to take to achieve these objectives, how and when these actions are to be taken, and the resources

Bending the cost curve. The Triple Aim is part of health care delivery reform, as part of the ACA, all derived with the ultimate goal of reducing healthcare spending in the United States. The government and organizations are still waiting for evidence on the effectiveness of Triple Aim models in improving population health, controlling costs, and improving patients’ experience of care.

The public library uses more of a functional organizational structure. The functional structure ensures that staffs are experts in their assign departments. Having the staff well trained in their area of work will be highly efficient and confident when providing information services support. In the DC Public Library Organization the formal communication strengths, circulate through the Executive Director. He sends emails monthly to update the staff on updated information services. Depending on what type of Information service it is it could come from the public service office or technology from the IT Department.
