In response to feedback from a previous library customer survey and the Libraries' recent budget cuts, we want to know more about your interest in the programs we provide. We want to ensure that the programs we do offer are relevant to you and your family because the Library Department will be implementing a reduction in the programming we will offer to residents. Your responses will assist us in planning current and future programs.
