We’ve had lots of chances for people to share ideas about what is going well, what your concerns are, what you wish the system could provide in terms of youth services. But here is one more chance for IFLS librarians to respond (please only respond if you work for a public library in IFLS-land).
I need to take information from all of you to a state-wide meeting later this month. Here is a link to an anonymous surveyso we can make sure your voice is heard: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CK89CXV . Please respond by September 14!
I think it will take you 5-10 minutes, depending on how much you want to write.
