COMMUNITY FEEDBACK WEEK BEGINS NOVEMBER 16!


RCS Community Library will spend the week of November 16 listening to community feedback about the quality of the Library's services.  The results will guide the Library's planning over the next few years.  We also hope to set a pattern for ongoing communication between community members and the Library, and to increase awareness of Library resources and activities.

 

The Library's Trustees, using long lists of district residents, randomly invited people to eight different feedback sessions (aka focus groups), some organized by age group and some organized by hamlet.

Participation is a one-time-only commitment that will help the Library to serve you better.  If you received an invitation, please come!  Your Trustee contact person can answer your questions and is waiting to hear from you!
