Latrobe City Libraries Seeking Feedback

Feedback needed on City Library collections.

By Portal Admin - 23rd February 2019 - Back to News

Latrobe City Council’s library service is seeking your feedback on its collections with two short surveys – one for members, and one for non-members.

Libraries exist in the community, for the community, so we are asking what people want to access. The surveys seek your views on our physical material, on the shelves and what is available virtually via online services. We are also asking if there are barriers that prevent people and members from engaging with the many library services on offer.

Your feedback is invaluable in being able to plan, shape and update our collections and online services. Please take a few minutes to let us know what you want from your library. The surveys close on Friday 29 March 2019.

Both surveys are available as hard copies from library branches or service centres or online at www.latrobe.vic.gov.au/Haveyoursay.
