We will do almost anything in our house to help the Wallingford Branch of the Seattle Public Library. So, taking a brief online survey doesn’t seem like much to ask. It took me less than 10 minutes and it was informative! For example, did you know that the Library offers the following services (great tidbits for your next dinner party)?:
- Online magazines and newspapers (for example, Consumer Reports and the New York Times) – Skip those expensive subscriptions, save some trees!
- Librarian assistance available 24 hours a day via online chat – For those insomniacs who need to talk to a Librarian at 3 AM
- Homework help – Almost makes it too easy
- Personal appointments with a genealogy librarian – Taking your roots very seriously
- Classes for non-English speakers – ?Que?
Please click here to check it out, you’ll be glad you did. The survey runs through May 16th. And for the big picture here’s their Strategic Planning page. The Friends of SPL even have their own blog!
By the way, this particular question cracked me up: “In a typical month, how many times do you visit a Seattle Public Library building, including the Central Library, branch libraries, and the bookmobile?“. “More than 30” was not a choice.
Thanks Helen! I took the survey the other day & actually learned about more services I wasn’t yet aware of.
Totally worth the few minutes it takes to fill out – Anything to support the libraries…
