Local History and Community Engagement Survey

Please take a moment to answer the following brief questions about your library’s role in the community as relates to local history. We are conducting this survey in advance of a roll-out of programming in collaboration with Maine Historical Society over the next couple of years. Please respond by March 6th at 5pm.

As an incentive for completing the survey, your name will be entered into a drawing to win one of two $10 gift certificates to the Maine Historical Society museum store in Portland. Names will be drawn following the survey deadline.

Thank you for your time!
