INTRODUCTION

As communities grow, usage of the local public library increases.

Ravalli County’s population has seen a steady increase of almost 1.5% a year since the Bitterroot Public Library last expanded in 1988. With this in mind, the Library is currently conducting a building needs study. Our intent with this project is to determine what area residents need, want and expect from their library - now and into the future.

Your input into this process is important and valued. Please take a few minutes to complete the following community survey. It has 13 core questions plus 3 optional demographic questions. On average, it takes just 12-15 minutes to complete.

NOTE: This questionnaire was created and is overseen independently by Library Strategies Consulting Group. Your individual responses are confidential. Only total, aggregate responses will be shared with the Library.

Please take the survey by end of day on March 31, 2023.
