HPL eBooks Survey

The library is conducting a brief survey to find out what eBooks are of most interest to our borrowers and citizens of Haddonfield. The focus of this survey is specifically eBooks. We plan to enlarge our eBook collections and expand beyond our Overdrive collection of eBooks. We would very much appreciate your time in filling out a short survey of your eBook reading preferences. All responses are confidential. Your survey data will be used strictly by the library for developing our eBook collection.

The survey will close on July 19th. Thank you for participating!
The library thanks the Haddonfield Friends of the Library for providing seed funding for the loaning of eBook readers (Nook Simple Touch) and for additional eBook collections. Visit our website at www.haddonfieldlibrary.org for more information on Overdrive or any other library services.
