IRON MOUNTAIN, MI- The Dickinson County Library is working with Fast Forward Libraries to create a strategic plan that will guide the library for the next 3-5 years and is asking for community input through a survey that is now available.
The community survey gathers insights on various aspects such as preferences and community needs, materials, programming, and more. The information will be helpful to the library to better understand what patrons are looking for from the library. Both library users and non-users are encouraged to take the survey.
“The library is a community resource, and we need the community’s help! Even if you haven’t been to the library in years, we would love your feedback for consideration. ”
The community survey can be found online at, https://www.surveymonkey.com/
Following the community survey, the library will also host several focus groups to get input from local business owners, community leaders, and local non-profits. There will also be a focus group held virtually. If you are interested in participating in a focus group and have not received an invitation, please reach out to Megan at 906-774-1218.
