Survey Closed! Setting Service Priorities for the Future

The Santa Cruz Public Libraries' plan for the future will set service priorities for a reduced budget. The library needs help from all members of the community, whether you use the Library or not, in setting those priorities.
From January 16, 2010 to February 6, 2010, a brief Community Input Survey will be available at all Library Branches and online through the Library's website. Friends of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries will also be available with surveys at selected grocery stores in the county throughout the survey period--see the document below for a list of locations and times.
For more information, contact Janis O'Driscoll at (831)420-5662 or odriscollj@santacruzpl.org
