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!
