Community Focus Groups

How can the Library be a community partner? What is the Library’s role in the community? Let us know!

On Thursday, October 3 while the kids are upstairs learning about Dinosaurs, the Board of Trustees will be downstairs asking these questions and listening intently to your answers:

  • What do you like most about living in this community?
  • How do you think this community is changing?
  • What role do you think the library plays in the community?
  • What do you think is great about the library?
  • What do you think is no so great about the library?
  • What might the library do to better serve your needs and encourage you to use the library more?
  • If money were no object, what would you want us to do?
  • Thinking about the future, what challenges and opportunities do you see for this library?

Interested in joining this discussion? Please RSVP today for the next session and share your thoughts, dreams, and concerns directly with the Board.
