Libraries Community Survey
Help Shape Our Library Services
Our public library purpose is to provide free and open access to information as well as to provide a place for the whole community to come together and share ideas, knowledge and experiences. The way we fulfil our role has been and will continue to be transformed by the changing face of our diverse community as well as advances in online sources of information and digital opportunities.
Whether you visit every week or only occasionally, your feedback helps shape the future of your library.
This survey is always open, so you can share your thoughts whenever suits you. Your answers directly inform how we act on the three themes at the heart of the Libraries 2030 Strategy:
- Spaces — making our libraries more welcoming, flexible, and accessible for everyone
- Collections — choosing books, eBooks, and resources that reflect the needs and diversity of our community
- Services — shaping programs, technology, and outreach that bring people together
Your feedback also supports our focus on accessibility, sustainability, and building a service that reflects the rich diversity of Georges River.
