Library would like to hear from you

North Central Regional Library would like to hear from you.

The five-county library district is currently working on a new strategic plan and would like to hear what the public thinks of its libraries and what they’d like to see in the future.

The organization operates Grand Coulee’s public library.

A public survey is now available online at http://www.ncrl.org, and copies in English and Spanish can be picked up at any of the district’s 30 branch libraries in Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Okanogan and Ferry counties.

The survey asks questions about which libraries people use, how often they visit, and why the go there (such as to attend programs, check out books or use public computers). It also asks what library services are most important to people, and what they would like to see added or expanded.

NCRL hopes to have all surveys returned by Feb. 1.

The survey result will help the library district create a long-range plan that will guide public spending priorities in the future.

For additional information about the survey or strategic planning process, patrons can call NCRL Deputy Director Barbara Walters at 509-663-1117, extention 129.
