Accessibility at the Gilford Public Library Survey

The Gilford Public Library has been selected to receive a competitive award from Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities, an American Library Association (ALA) initiative that provides community engagement and accessibility resources to small and rural libraries to help them better serve people with disabilities.

To learn more about how we can best serve our community in planning future initiatives, we've compiled this survey in partnership with a Community Conversation on May 31st to hear from YOU! We'd like to know how well we're currently meeting your needs, and where we could improve or provide information or resources to better serve you.
