Reminder: Summer Programming Survey
by Lancaster, Cathy (MDE) 06 Sep '22

06 Sep '22

REMINDER: Please complete the summer library survey from the Collaborative Summer Library Program - even if you didn't use "Oceans of Possibilities" this year! CSLP has created a survey so they can better assess the usefulness of the materials offered by the program on a national level to better serve you, the CSLP membership! All feedback helps shape programming for years to come, and you did not need to have used the theme to complete. Survey closes this Friday. The survey can be found here: <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> https://forms.gle/DKo3uSSKVwqVoS5x9 FAQs Who should complete this survey? The audience for the survey is public library staff who played an active role in administering or running 2022 summer library programming. One person per library could fill it out, or multiple library staff from the same library could complete the sections of the survey most relevant to their work; e.g. children, teen, or adult programs. * Please coordinate with your colleagues on who will fill it out, especially if you are in a multi-branch system. * This does NOT need to be filled out by Directors. (Adult/YA/Children program overseers can complete their own portions.) * EVEN IF YOU DID NOT USE "Oceans of Possibilities" AS YOUR THEME, we invite you to complete the survey! Is this survey required? No, it is not required, but we would appreciate your input. Every library that responds helps us get a more accurate picture of overall satisfaction with the program. I want to be prepared. What info will I need to provide? * General feedback on using (or not) the 2022 program theme and materials; * Feedback and info about how/whether you tracked participation, as well as stats for participation and programming for children (ages 0-11), teens (12-18) and adults. You may skip any questions for which you don't have the answers. I suggest you wait until your summer program has ended to complete the survey. When does the survey close? The survey is open from now until Friday, September 9, 2022. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for sharing your input!

Nationally recognized as a top library system, EBRPL provides public library services for the City of Baton Rouge and the Parish of East Baton Rouge. Serving a population of more than 435,000 in the metropolitan area, the system consists of a Main Library and 13 branches, including two under major renovation, plus one new branch in the design phase. The library has 587 staff who work to better serve the community by offering daily service, deploying three bookmobiles and a fleet of other outreach vehicles, maintaining a collection of 2 million items with an annual circulation of 2.4 million. The library is funded by a ten‐year 11.1 mill property tax, currently rolled back to 10.52, that generates an estimated $51.7 million annually for the operation and maintenance of the existing system as well as a pay‐as‐you‐go capital improvements program. The tax is up for renewal in 2025. As Louisiana’s Capital City, Greater Baton Rouge is the largest city in the state.

Nashville students attend Maple Valley Schools; with current graduating classes of about 60 students, it means lots of opportunities for kids to flourish in athletics and the art and music programs. Our modest collection is housed in an 1880s historic home donated to the village by our namesakes, Charles and Agnes Putnam, specifically for the purpose of becoming a library. They donated $10,000 and 300 of their own books to the village, and the Women’s Literary Club succeeded in opening our library to the public in 1923. Charles and Agnes’ original donated portraits can still be viewed in our front room.
