Community Survey: Stillwater Public Library Event Wing Use

Stillwater Public Library invites our community to provide feedback on the public and private use of the library’s event wing by individuals and organizations. The library’s event wing includes the Margaret Rivers meeting rooms, a conference room, a gallery, and the Johnson Terrace (an outdoor rooftop area). Since its completion in 2006, the event wing has served as a space for library programs, community meetings, fundraisers, weddings, and other special events.

Your input will help us better understand our community’s interests and preferences regarding the use of this space. The results of this survey will provide one form of the input used by the Library Board of Trustees in its consideration of future use of the event wing.

Please submit your responses by Wednesday, March 31, 2021.
