Albany Public Library | Strategic Plan | 2026 Community Survey

INTRODUCTION

Albany Public Library is currently developing a Strategic Plan with the help of Library Strategies to guide its priorities over the next three years. In order to craft this long-range roadmap, the Library must determine what residents need, want and expect from their libraries - now and into the future. For that reason, this survey was developed to collect your valuable input.

On average, it takes just 8-10 minutes to complete the survey. The information you provide will help the Library and its consultants scope and prioritize areas of focus that maximize the Library's return on investment. You will remain anonymous unless you actively choose to self-identify.

NOTE: This survey is intended to be specific to your experiences, feelings and aspirations for APL. We realize that you may have familiarity with other nearby libraries as well. Please comment only on APL, which includes the following locations:
