Nelson Public Library Community Survey

Introduction

The Nelson Public Library wants to hear from you!

Feedback from the community will help the Library make decisions about:

1. the collections including finding the right balance between traditional books and online resources

2. the facility and how to best use the existing space

3. the programs and services that are most relevant and can be delivered within the Library’s budget.

Any changes in our approach to collection development, facilities use, or program delivery will be outlined in a draft strategic plan, which will be available on the Library's website for public review in early December.

Anyone who completes the survey by answering all questions will be eligible to be entered into a draw to win fantastic prizes including:

- A three-month pass for free parking within the City of Nelson

- Two tickets for Kokanee Mountain Zipline Tours

- Two day-lift tickets for Whitewater Ski Resort

- Two tickets for the upcoming production of Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery at the Capitol Theatre

- Two tickets for a movie at the Nelson Civic Theatre

- Wildwood yoga passes

Deadline for input is Friday October 28th.
