Gering Public Library - Campaign Readiness Study Summit (Online Survey)

The Gering Public Library Foundation is exploring an $8 million capital campaign to transform and expand the Gering Public Library into a fully accessible, modern community destination. The proposed project would improve ADA accessibility throughout the building, create a new community center with flexible gathering space, upgrade aging infrastructure, and expand dedicated areas for children, teens, and lifelong learners to better serve the evolving needs of the Gering community.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Please review the project overview (ADD LINK) before beginning the survey. This confidential survey is being conducted by an independent consultant on behalf of the Gering Public Library Foundation, and all responses will remain confidential and will be summarized as part of the overall campaign readiness and feasibility study.
