The Bowen Island Library is inviting community members to share their thoughts and ideas about library service for the coming three to five years through our community survey.
The survey and other research will guide staff and board members in developing a new strategic plan for the library.
We’ve heard from quite a few Bowen Islanders and visitors already, and we’d love to hear from more of you - especially parents, young families, teens, youth, and library non-users. Your input will play a vital role in shaping the future of services, programming, and resources at Bowen Library.
Whether you’re a frequent visitor, only use the library occasionally, or have never set foot in the library — we want to hear from you! Maybe you’ve used other libraries, and aren’t sure how the Bowen Library fits into your needs here on Bowen.
Maybe you’ve never used the library and could share with us what (if anything) would make you inclined to visit us.
If you’re unfamiliar with the services we currently provide, you can always start by checking out our website at bowenlibrary.ca to find out about the programs, services, and resources we offer. Perhaps learning about our events, books, subject booklists, e-books and e-audiobooks, free video courses, printing services, Med Shed and Library of Things will inspire you to think of what we could do more of, what changes we could make, or services we could add.
Whether you’re familiar with our offerings or not, we encourage you to share your vision for how the library can play a supportive role in your life.
The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete, and your responses are completely anonymous. Complete it online at bipl.ca/survey, on our iPad at the library, or pick up a paper copy at the library.
We’ve extended the deadline of the survey, and would love to receive your responses as soon as possible — we can’t wait to hear how we can better serve you!
The more people who contribute, the better we can tailor our services to meet the community’s evolving needs. The survey will remain open for a little longer, so be sure to take part as soon as you can.
We thank everyone who has already taken the time to complete the survey. Your input will help us make Bowen Island Public Library an even more vibrant and valuable resource for everyone on the island!
