Surveys

 

We want to know!

 
We are taking a short break from our surveys. 
But since enquiring minds want to know, we'll have new questions soon!

Our survey question changes every two weeks.
You can take the survey in person at the library or on our website.
 
These numbers represent the number of patrons who voted for each item (both online and in person).
In many of the surveys, patrons can vote for more than one item.
 
(It should be noted that unsupervised children have been known on occasion to vote enthusiastically...)
