2024 Community Survey Results Summary!

913 Community Members completed our survey from January 10 to February 10, 2024. 75% use the library regularly. 92% of all comments were positive. Overall, very high praise and ratings with outstanding comments, but also good feedback on areas needing improvement (wi-fi, library of things, shorten wait times, noise, study rooms, communication, space usage) - we agree, will be working on, and will be adding to our five-year strategic plan.
