As your library director, I strive for balance and fairness. Providing appropriate accommodations for our community and patrons is my major priority. But, sometimes, I need a little help. So, I invite you to take a library satisfaction survey. The survey should take less than ten minutes to complete, and your thoughtful responses will help me and my staff plan, organize, and provide even better services and resources.
