Week 13 - Community survey coming soon!

Vision Statement Responses

The good news is that the committee received 50 responses from staff. The bad news is that there was no consensus. The votes were evenly distributed across all three of the presented options. In addition, three people suggested alternate wordings. Thanks to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts. After much thought and discussion the committee has decided to go with option #2 for the time being. The current draft of the Vision statement has been posted in the staff lounge. This document will continue to be considered a draft until sometime in the fall.

Community Survey about to get underway

Professor Amy Clugg from Elmhurst College met with the Strategic Planning Committee this week. Her marketing class is conducting a survey on behalf of the library. This survey is an educational exercise for the students which they designed under the supervision of their professor. They will be providing valuable information to the Strategic Planning Committee as a community service. Amy reviewed with us how the survey was being put together, types of questions included (we provided some input), and how data would be collected and analyzed. There are 24 students in the class and each will be responsible for completing 30 surveys. Surveys will be conducted April 22-30 at locations throughout town. Some of the surveys will be conducted here in the library. The students will be clearly identified. If you see them in the library please be supportive. The students will make a formal class presentation on May 13th and we have been invited to attend.
