Survey Heading Your Way! The Library Network is already planning for 2030 and we want to know what you think. In mid-August, we’ll be in touch with you and ask you to weigh-in on what services and programs you think we should develop over the next ten years. The questions will be based upon research gathered about projected community demographics and what skills local employers will need for their workforce. The survey results will be used to formulate the District’s strategic plan.
