2024 Strategic Plan Survey - We Want Your Feedback!

Submitted by megan.filipowski on Fri, 03/29/2024 - 09:13

Metro Library is beginning to gather feedback for its next long-range planning cycle, or what we know internally as the Strategic Plan.

Before we share this survey with the public, we would like to gather feedback from you – the staff. You will also have the opportunity to take the survey after it’s been shared with the public, but we want to make sure you have the chance to see the survey and take it yourself so you can assist guests and the community if they have questions about it.
