The Annual Patron Survey results are available now! The Annual Patron Survey is your chance to rate the Library and Archives and tell us what you think about Your Library. This information is used throughout the year by the Library Board and staff for making decisions and deciding priorities. Your opinion counts! Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the survey and let us know how we're doing. As well, a big thank you goes to Freson Bros. for letting us do surveys at both their locations.
