Submitted by jennifer.livingstone on Fri, 09/28/2018 - 16:40

A few weeks ago, we conducted the ODL Reference Survey. The survey ran from September 5th through September 11th. Library staff kept track of the times they helped customers with their questions and noted whether they were answering Reference or Non-Reference questions.

Thanks for all of your help in taking the time to participate in the survey! 

Now that the survey is complete, we'd like to share some of the results.

Health Screenings are now worth 150 Wellness Points for the 2018-2019 Wellness Year!  If you've never participated in the Wellness Points program before, this is a great way to get started!
