We Appreciate Your Valued Feedback
Help us improve the library by filling out a survey.
 
We have been sharing a series of surveys with you over the last few months to help us learn how we can better meet your needs.
 
Surveys take about 1 – 2 minutes and consist of around 15 multiple choice or single response questions as well as space to share any other thoughts you may have. They focus on: Technology Services, Adult Services, Youth & Teen Services, Digital Collections, the Physical Building, and Library Communications.
 
Technology Services, Adult Services, Digital Collections, and Youth & Teen Services are currently live and accepting survey responses. The next surveys to be released will focus on Library Communications and the Physical Building, and we would love your feedback!
 
These surveys are meant to gather your input so we can continue to focus our efforts on meeting your evolving needs moving forward. We value your feedback and are thankful for the opportunity to work together to improve library services, collections, and events!
