Take our Library Facility Survey
We need your valued feedback!
 
Over the last several months the library has been releasing a series of surveys to gather community feedback regarding the library's resources and services. These surveys are critical to our progress toward building a new library and improving library services, resources, and collections. They provide us with essential data, commentary, and ideas regarding the library's offerings.
 
Surveys consist of around 15 multiple choice or single response questions as well as space to share any other thoughts. The Technology Services, Adult Services, Digital Collections, and Youth & Teen Services surveys are currently available for responses. Our newest survey about the Library's Physical Building is now live and accepting responses as well! 
 
This survey asks for your thoughts regarding the library's current facility as well as provides an opportunity to give your suggestions for improvement in a new library building. 
 
If you have yet to take our previously released surveys, please consider providing your valued feedback. It is greatly appreciated as we seek to improve the library and its offerings!

Her education and passion for sustainability went on to inform and inspire her work in the garden, home, and community.
