BAA/Fenway Library Use Survey 2013

1. 9th Grade Library Survey

1. Thank you for agreeing to take this survey.

For my research I am exploring whether or not access to school libraries before high school impacts student achievment. My goal is expand elementary and middle school library access.

You can skip any question or choose not to finish the survey. This will not affect your relationship with me, the BAA/Fenway Library services or the school. A few questions are about cell phone use. Most are about your middle school library experiences.

Best wishes.

Mrs. Froggatt
