SURVEY & Open Houses
March 20
The Sonoma County Library is working on a three-year strategic plan and is asking for the community’s guidance in the future of library services. You’re invited to fill out a survey, available in English and Spanish, and to attend a strategic planning open house at a library branch near you.
The library’s strategic plan describes the library system the community wants in the future. It clarifies the vision, mission and priorities that will guide the library’s work and services in the coming years.
“Your thoughts, dreams, opinions and
experiences can help make your library more
aware, more welcoming and more connected
to your community’s needs. Please take the
survey and invest a few minutes of your time in
the future,” said Sonoma County Library Director Ann Hammond. “I’m grateful to you for supporting your library by sharing your knowledge. We’re listening!”
The survey is available in English at surveymonkey.com/r/SCL-English and in Spanish at surveymonkey.com/r/SCL-Spanish.
