Reading for All Needs Assessment Survey 2011

The Marion County literacy initiative, "Reading for All," is conducting an on-going survey to determine what you, your community, organization or program need from us to support your efforts.

All information collected from this survey will give us a clearer picture of how we should direct our resources and staff as Reading for All grows. We want to support you where there is a need.

Your input is very important to us as we partner together to make reading a priority in Marion County!

Thank you!
